Challenges in Testing Context Aware Software Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context aware software systems (CASS) are becoming pervasive in our lives. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether traditional (nocontext aware) software testing techniques are adequate for testing CASS. Therefore, a quasi systematic literature review was used to identify 11 relevant sources that mentioned 15 problems and 4 proposed solutions, which were analyzed and classified into 3 groups of challenges and strategies for dealing with CASS testing. Additionally, some recommendations for testing such software applications with the currently available testing technologies are presented. However, we argue that new context aware testing techniques need to be developed in order to assure the quality of CASS.

Self-adaptivity and context-awareness have been proposed to provide the ability for a software system to adapt itself at runtime to cope with changes in its environment and the user needs. In research, selfadaptivity is more concerned with how to adapt the system, while context-awareness is more concerned with how to model, process, and manage the system environment information. In general, con...
