This article presents a controlled experiment that compares the behavior of the testing techniques Statement Coverage and All Uses. The design of this experiment is typical for a factor with two alternatives. A total of 14 subjects carry out tests on a single program. The results indicate that there is enough statistical evidence to state that the cost of executing All Uses is higher than that ...

This paper describes SimpleNLG for German, a surface realisation engine for German based on SimpleNLG (Gatt and Reiter, 2009). Several features of the syntax of German and their implementation within the current framework are discussed, with a special focus on word order phenomena. Grammatical coverage of the system is demonstrated by means of selected examples.

In TREC 2003, IRIT improved the strategy that was introduced in TREC 2002. A sentence is considered as relevant if it matches the topic with a certain level of coverage. This coverage depends on the category of terms used in the texts. Different types of terms have been defined: highly relevant, scarcely relevant, nonrelevant and highly non-relevant. With regard to the novelty part, a sentence ...

in wireless sensor networks (wsns), localization algorithms could be range-based or range-free. the approximate point in triangle (apit) is a range-free approach. we propose modification of the apit algorithm and refer as modified-apit. we select suitable triangles with appropriate distance between anchors to reduce pit test errors (edge effect and non-uniform placement of neighbours) in apit a...

vaccination considered as one of the most cost-effective health interventions worldwide  through prevention and control of many serious childhood diseases (1). it is estimated  global coverage of  dose 3 of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (dtp3)among children one year old has been 86% in 2014 (by range from 77% to 96%  in african region and western pacific region; respectively) (2). globally...

in 1974, the world health organization (who) established the expanded program on immunization (epi) to ensure that all children have access to routinely recommended vaccines. since then, global coverage with the four core vaccines (bacille calmette guérin vaccine [for protection against tuberculosis], diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine [dtp], polio vaccine, and measles vaccine) has increased ...

adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and the effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. in this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

When testing software, testers rarely use only one technique to generate tests that, they hope, will fulfill their testing criteria. Malaiya showed that testers switch strategies when testing yield saturates. We present and evaluate a stopping rule that can be used to determine when it is time to switch to a different testing technique, because the current one is not likely to increase criteria...

Linked faults are very important for memory testing because they reduce the fault coverage of the tests. Their analysis has proven to be a source for new memory tests, characterized by an increased fault coverage for a given test time. This paper presents an analysis of linked faults, based on the concept of fault primitives, such that the whole space of linked faults is investigated, accounted...
