Reading this white paper provides you a summary on the state of the art of test tools, an introduction to TT-Medal achievements, in particular insight into the industrial case studies that have been performed in the project. Three major directions for research are addressed: a common test tool infrastructure, approaches for the automatic generation of TTCN-3 tests, and the integrated system and...

A tour guide conducting a group through a modern dairy laboratory in the future could well say: "I appreciate this opportuni ty to take you on a tour through our laboratory. You will note that it little resembles the labs you and I worked in 20 yr ago. Reagent bottles are scarce, pipets are few, and agar media containers are gathering dust on storage shelves. Instruments have built in microproc...

The evolution of current modeling specifications gives rise to the problem of generating automated test cases from a variety of application tools. Past endeavours on behavioural testing of UML statecharts have not systematically leveraged the potential of existing graph theory for testing of objects. Therefore there exists a need for a simple, tool-independent, and effective method for automati...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of an Apple iOS-based automated hearing testing application and to compare its accuracy with conventional audiometry. STUDY DESIGN Prospective diagnostic study. Setting Academic medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS An iOS-based software application was developed to perform automated pure-tone hearing testing on the iPhone, iPod...

At BAM, the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, a group of scientists develops NDTapplications based on GMR sensor technology. In particular, the knowledge gained in the field of automated testing systems based on the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) were combined with GMR sensors to achieve high resolution testing of ferromagnetic materials. In cooperation with Europe’s second lar...

Market demands for higher quality software and shorter time-to-market delivery have resulted in a need for new automated software testing techniques. Most automated testing techniques are designed for regression testing that limit their fault finding ability to faults explicitly tested in scenarios/scripts. To overcome this limitation, companies define test processes with several test technique...

This paper proposes an automated, white-box security testing framework to identify true input manipulation vulnerabilities that can reduce warnings generated by static analysis tools or automated black-box testing tools.

Agile manifesto defines principles for a light-weight software development process aiming at an improved customer satisfaction. Automated testing plays an important role in fulfilling these principles, because it enables efficient execution of test scripts for checking the quality of delivered software. However, the implementation and the maintenance of the test scripts can be very tedious and ...

Choreographies have been proposed as decentralized and scalable solutions for composing web services. Nevertheless, inherent characteristics of SOA such as dynamicity, scale, and governance issues make the automated testing of choreographies difficult. The goal of our research is to adapt the automated testing techniques used by the Agile Software Development community to the SOA context. To ac...
