Generating high quality test suites for arbitrary software is a highly discussed topic in software engineering contexts. Many different test generation strategies exist but the resulting tests might be of varying quality. Usage based test generation focuses on the software parts which are actively used by users. This way, the user-visible functionality is ensured to be of high quality. Current ...

Changes in hardware or image-processing settings are a common issue for large multicenter studies. To pool MRI data acquired under these changed conditions, it is necessary to demonstrate that the changes do not affect MRI-based measurements. In these circumstances, classical inference testing is inappropriate because it is designed to detect differences, not prove similarity. We used a method ...

Since computer’s software applications rapidly increased in modern life, it is important to have enough reliability and minimizing the probability of faults in software products. Software testing is a process to find faults in software’s products, due to increase software reliability. Because testing process is very costly, automation techniques are needed to reduce these costs and also, increa...

Research on automated essay scoring (AES) indicates that computer-generated essay ratings are comparable to human ratings. However, despite investigations into the accuracy and reliability of AES scores, less attention has been paid to the feedback delivered to the students. This paper presents a method developers can use to quickly evaluate the usability of an automated feedback system prior t...

Web testing is the name given to software testing that target on web applications. Performance testing on web based system before going live can help in resolving several issues. Manual testing is a time consuming testing and is difficult to repeat but cannot be overlooked because each time software does not perform well according to specifications. The application will record and report the ex...

Random Testing(RT) and its derivatives such as Adaptive Random Testing (ART ) are active and important research topics in software testing, which have also a niche in practical settings due to the merits they offers, e.g. fault-detection capacities at low cost, ease of implementation, reliability estimation, facility for automation and so forth. Inspired by these advantages, we believe the idea...

In this paper, we aim at the automated unit coverage-based testing for embedded software. To achieve the goal, by analyzing the industrial requirements and our previous work on automated unit testing tool CAUT, we rebuild a new tool, SmartUnit, to solve the engineering requirements that take place in our partner companies. SmartUnit is a dynamic symbolic execution implementation, which supports...

For software development, testing is still the primary choice for investigating the correctness of a system. Automated testing is of utmost importance to support continuous integration and regression tests on actual hardware. For embedded systems, power consumption is a chief performance metric, which is tightly coupled to the hardware used and the software exploiting low power modes. Automated...
