Towards Automatic Test Database Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Testing is one of the most expensive and time consuming activities in the software development cycle. In order to reduce the cost and the time to market, many approaches to automate certain testing tasks have been devised. Nevertheless, a great deal of testing is still carried out manually. This paper gives an overview of different testing scenarios and shows how database techniques (e.g., declarative specifications and logical data independence) can help to optimize the generation of test databases.

متن کاملAutomatic Intonation Analysis Using Acoustic Data
In a research world where many human-hours are spent labelling, segmenting, checking, and rechecking various levels of linguistic information, it is obvious that automatic analysis can lower the costs (in time as well as funding) of linguistic annotation. More importantly, automatic speech analysis coupled with automatic speech generation allows human-computer interaction to advance towards spo...
متن کاملAutomatic Test Generation for Database-Driven Applications
Database-driven software has been widely adopted in many areas of software applications. In this type of software, the database is an integrated part of the system. Traditional testing techniques have focused either on the software or on the databases, but ignored the interactions between the two core components of the system. Recently, the importance of testing database-driven applications has...
