Testing for Trustworthiness in Scientific Software
Testing for Trustworthiness in Scientific Software Daniel Hook Diane Kelly Queen's University Royal Military College of Canada Kingston Ontario Kingston Ontario Abstract expected – and correct – results. Weyuker notes that in Two factors contribute to the difficulty of testing many cases, an oracle is pragmatically unattainable. scientific software. One is the lack of testing oracles – With scientific software, this is almost always the case. a means of comparing software output to expected and Weyuker further comments that if the oracle is correct results. The second is the large number of tests unattainable, then “from the view of correctness testing required when following any standard testing … there is nothing to be gained by performing the technique described in the software engineering test.” For scientific software, this is a depressing and literature. Due to the lack of oracles, scientists use disturbing conclusion. However, there is instead a goal judgment based on experience to assess of trustworthiness rather than correctness that can be trustworthiness, rather than correctness, of their addressed by testing. software. This is an approach well established for In this paper, we first outline a typical development assessing scientific models. However, the problem of environment for scientific software, then briefly assessing software is more complex, exacerbated by discuss testing. This leads to a discussion of the problem of code faults. This highlights the need for correctness and trustworthiness from the view of the effective and efficient testing for code faults in scientist who develops and uses scientific software.

Volume 3, Issue 5, May-2016, pp. 261-265 ISSN (O): 2349-7084 International Journal of Computer Engineering In Research Trends Available online at: www.ijcert.org Improving Web Services Maintenance through Regression Testing Divya Rohatgi, Prof. (Col) Gurmit Singh 1. Research Scholar, Computer Science and Engineering Department Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Deemed University, Allahabad, India 2. Professor, Computer Science and Engineering Department Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Deemed University, Allahabad, India Abstract: - Software maintenance is considered to be the most expensive activity in software development and is used to ensure quality to the product. Regression Testing is a part of software maintainers which is done every time the software is changed. For software like Web services which represent a class of Service oriented architectures this activity is a challenging task. Since web services incorporate business functionality thus maintaining proper quality is an important concern. Due to inherent distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic in nature, regression testing is difficult and time consuming activity. Thus in order to reduce maintenance cost we have to reduce regression testing cost. Thus in this paper, we have given a comprehensive study of regression testing of web services exploring the challenges, approaches and tools used for them to ensure proper quality and inherently reducing the maintenance costs. Keywords – Software Engineering, Software Maintenance, Regression Testing, Web Service. —————————— —————————— 1. INTRODUCTION implications deriving from the adoption of the standardized stack of technology underlying web In today’s growing and competitive scenario Service– services (e.g., SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, etc.); oriented architectures are having a crucial role in the way in which systems are developed and designed. -

Curriculum Vitae James A
Curriculum Vitae James A. Jones General Information Bio Highlights Professor Jones is perhaps best known for the creation of the influential Tarantula technique that spawned a new field of \spectra-based" fault localization. For this work, he was awarded the prestigious ACM SIGSOFT Award in 2015. Also, he is a recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award, which recognizes outstanding research and excellent education. Jones's research contributions span the duration of his undergrad, professional, graduate, and professorial career. Throughout this time, Jones created tools and techniques for software analysis (static and dynamic), techniques to help manage test suites for safety-critical software systems, techniques to support several aspects of software debugging and comprehension, and has studied the ways that software behaves in order to better model and predict it. Jones received the Ph.D. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor Mary Jean Harrold. At UC Irvine, Jones leads the Spider Lab (http://spideruci.org) and advises Ph.D., Masters, and undergraduate students to study and improve software development and maintenance processes. Jones is a regular author and reviewer for top-tier research conferences (e.g., ICSE, FSE, ISSTA, ASE) and has co-organized events such as the 1st Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT) and the 10th Workshop on Dynamic Analysis (WODA).

Pdf: Software Testing
Software Testing Gregory M. Kapfhammer Department of Computer Science Allegheny College [email protected] I shall not deny that the construction of these testing programs has been a major intellectual effort: to convince oneself that one has not overlooked “a relevant state” and to convince oneself that the testing programs generate them all is no simple matter. The encouraging thing is that (as far as we know!) it could be done. Edsger W. Dijkstra [Dijkstra, 1968] 1 Introduction When a program is implemented to provide a concrete representation of an algorithm, the developers of this program are naturally concerned with the correctness and performance of the implementation. Soft- ware engineers must ensure that their software systems achieve an appropriate level of quality. Software verification is the process of ensuring that a program meets its intended specification [Kaner et al., 1993]. One technique that can assist during the specification, design, and implementation of a software system is software verification through correctness proof. Software testing, or the process of assessing the func- tionality and correctness of a program through execution or analysis, is another alternative for verifying a software system. As noted by Bowen, Hinchley, and Geller, software testing can be appropriately used in conjunction with correctness proofs and other types of formal approaches in order to develop high quality software systems [Bowen and Hinchley, 1995, Geller, 1978]. Yet, it is also possible to use software testing techniques in isolation from program correctness proofs or other formal methods. Software testing is not a “silver bullet” that can guarantee the production of high quality software systems. -
Automated Test Cases Prioritization for Self-Driving Cars in Virtual
111 Automated Test Cases Prioritization for Self-driving Cars in Virtual Environments CHRISTIAN BIRCHLER, Zurich University of Applied Science, Switzerland SAJAD KHATIRI, Zurich University of Applied Science & Software Institute - USI, Lugano, Switzerland POURIA DERAKHSHANFAR, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands SEBASTIANO PANICHELLA, Zurich University of Applied Science, Switzerland ANNIBALE PANICHELLA, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Testing with simulation environments help to identify critical failing scenarios emerging autonomous systems such as self-driving cars (SDCs) and are safer than in-field operational tests. However, these tests are very expensive and aretoo many to be run frequently within limited time constraints. In this paper, we investigate test case prioritization techniques to increase the ability to detect SDC regression faults with virtual tests earlier. Our approach, called SDC-Prioritizer, prioritizes virtual tests for SDCs according to static features of the roads used within the driving scenarios. These features are collected without running the tests and do not require past execution results. SDC-Prioritizer utilizes meta-heuristics to prioritize the test cases using diversity metrics (black-box heuristics) computed on these static features. Our empirical study conducted in the SDC domain shows that SDC-Prioritizer doubles the number of safety-critical failures that virtual tests can detect at the same level of execution time compared to baselines: random and greedy-based test case orderings. Furthermore, this meta-heuristic search performs statistically better than both baselines in terms of detecting safety-critical failures. SDC-Prioritizer effectively prioritize test cases for SDCs with a large improvement in fault detection while its overhead(upto 0.34% of the test execution cost) is negligible. -
