  • Testing Web Services: a Survey Technical Report TR-10-01
    Testing Web Services: A Survey Technical report TR-10-01 Mustafa Bozkurt, Mark Harman and Youssef Hassoun Centre for Research on Evolution, Search & Testing King’s College London Strand, London WC2R 2LS, UK mustafa.bozkurt,mark.harman,youssef.hassoun @kcl.ac.uk f g Abstract The Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm is allowing computer systems to interact with each other in new ways. According to the literature, SOC allows composition of distributed applications free from their platform and thus reduces the cost of such compositions and makes them easier and faster to develop. Currently web services are the most widely accepted service technology due to the level of autonomy and platform-independency they provide. However, web services also bring challenges. For example, testing web services at the client side is not as straightforward as testing traditional software due to the complex nature of web services and the absence of source code. This paper surveys the previous work undertaken on web service testing, showing the strengths and weaknesses of current web service testing strategies and identifying issues for future work. 1 Introduction This paper presents a survey of web service testing techniques. Web services is a rapidly growing concept that drives the Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) at present. Web services present important challenges to software testers. These challanges has led to much work on techniques for testing web services. The present paper seeks to provide a comprehensive survey of existing work. According to Papazoglou [110], SOC is a new computing paradigm that utilizes services as the lightweight constructs to support the development of rapid, low-cost and easy composition of distributed applications.

  • Case Study Test the Untestable: Alaska Airlines Solves
    CASE STUDY Testing the Untestable Alaska Airlines Solves the Test Environment Dilemma Case Study Testing the Untestable Alaska Airlines Solves the Test Environment Dilemma OVERVIEW Alaska Airlines is primarily a West Coast carrier that services the states of Alaska and Hawaii with mid-continent and destinations in Canada and Mexico. Alaska Airlines received J.D. Powers' “Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Traditional Carriers” recognition for twelve years in a row even recently winning first in all but one of the seven categories. A large part of the credit belongs to their software testing team. Their industry-leading, proactive approach to disrupting the traditional software testing process ensures that testers can test faster, earlier, and more completely. Learn how Ryan Papineau and his team used advanced automation in concert with service virtualization to rigorously test their complex flight operations manager software. The result: operations that run smoothly— even if they encounter a snowstorm in July.

  • Model-Based API Testing for SMT Solvers∗
    Model-Based API Testing for SMT Solvers∗ Aina Niemetz, Mathias Preiner, and Armin Biere Institute for Formal Models and Verification Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria Abstract Verification back ends such as SMT solvers are typically highly complex pieces of soft- ware with performance, correctness and robustness as key requirements. Full verification of SMT solvers, however, is difficult due to their complex nature and still an open question. Grammar-based black-box input fuzzing proved to be effective to uncover bugs in SMT solvers but is entirely input-based and restricted to a certain input language. State-of-the- art SMT solvers, however, usually provide a rich API, which often introduces additional functionality not supported by the input language. Previous work showed that applying model-based API fuzzing to SAT solvers is more effective than input fuzzing. In this pa- per, we introduce a model-based API testing framework for our SMT solver Boolector. Our experimental results show that model-based API fuzzing in combination with delta debugging techniques is effective for testing SMT solvers. 1 Introduction State-of-the-art Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers are typically highly complex pieces of software, and since they usually serve as back-end to some application, the level of trust in this application strongly depends on the level of trust in the underlying solver. Full verification of SMT solvers, however, is difficult due to their complex nature and still an open question. Hence, solver developers usually rely on traditional testing techniques such as unit and regression tests. At the SMT workshop in 2009, in [10] Brummayer et al.

As organizations start to move into an agile development methodology, they start to uncover other processes that can be accelerated, such as delivery by DevOps and testing by Continuous Testing. The acceleration that is set in motion via agile makes it necessary to accelerate the release schedule. In order to ensure a successful release, an organization must adopt continuous testing to make sure the conveyer belt does not break down. The modernization maturity model has these three distinct phases: AGILE Agile software development is a different way of thinking about approaching the challenge of development time.

    CASE STUDY Inovytec Achieves FDA Certification With Customized Static Code Analysis Solution Case Study Leading Insurance Company Modernizes Applications With Software Testing OVERVIEW Inovytec is an innovative medical device company that develops cutting- edge solutions for respiratory and cardiac failures. During the COVID-19 crisis, Inovytec has been a vital supplier of ventilators around the world, delivering critical care to patients suffering respiratory symptoms from the contagious disease. The embedded development team at Inovytec delivers medical devices with safety-critical software like the Ventway Sparrow, which is a groundbreaking family of transport and emergency ventilators designed to stand up to the harshest of conditions while providing reliable high- performance ventilation at all times. 100% FDA 510(k) Certification Rules & Guidelines 2 Case Study Leading Insurance Company Modernizes Applications With Software Testing CHALLENGE On a mission to deliver clean code and be compliant with the FDA 510(k) regulation inspection, Inovytec started using Parasoft's C/C++ static code analysis solution. APPROACH To satisfy the FDA 510(k) certification, the embedded software development team customized a set of rules in Parasoft C/C++test to the standard. "Every time we are going to release a new software version of the Ventway Sparrow ventilator, we make sure that the static analysis from Parasoft is configured to run according to the FDA regulation definitions. We not only noticed improvements in code quality, but C/C++test has really helped us in our static analysis verification activities and goal of achieving FDA 510(k) certification,” said Roi Birenshtok, solution architect and team leader of embedded software.
