Extensive testing of modern communicating systems often involves large and complex test suites that need to be maintained throughout the life cycle of the tested systems. For this purpose, quality assurance of test suites is an inevitable task that eventually may have an impact on the quality of the system under test as well. In this thesis, we present a holistic method towards the analytical q...

There are two competing architectural styles employed for building Web services: RESTful services and services based on the WS-* standards (also known as SOAP). These two styles have separate follower bases, but many differences between them are ideological rather than factual. In order to promote the healthy growth of Web services research and practice, it is important to distinguish arguments...

Proposed and interim European quality specifications for imprecision and inaccuracy have been compared with the US CLIA total error criteria for proficiency testing (PT). To assess the relative demands of separate imprecision and inaccuracy specifications vs total error criteria, we derived the imprecision and inaccuracy that would be allowable if a testing process were to provide 90% assurance...
