Bug Localization in Test-Driven Development

Bug Localization in Test-Driven Development

Software development teams that use agile methodologies are increasingly adopting the test-driven development practice (TDD). TDD allows to produce software by iterative and incremental work cycle, and with a strict control over the process, favouring an early detection of bugs. However, when applied to large and complex systems, TDD benefits are not so obvious: manually locating and fixing bug...

Bug Driven Bug Finders

We describe a method of creating tools to find bugs in software that is driven by the analysis of previously fixed bugs. We present a study of bug databases and software repositories that characterize commonly occurring types of bugs. Based on the types of bugs that were commonly reported and fixed in the code, we determine what types of bug finding tools should be developed. We have implemente...

1 Contract Driven Development = Test Driven Development - Writing Test - Cases

Although unit tests are recognized as an important tool in software development, programmers prefer to write code, rather than unit tests. Despite the emergence of tools like JUnit which automate part of the process, unit testing remains a time-consuming, resource-intensive, and not particularly appealing activity. This paper introduces a new method, called ContractDriven Development, that take...

Test-Driven Development of Ontologies

Emerging ontology authoring methods to add knowledge to an ontology focus on ameliorating the validation bottleneck. The verification of the newly added axiom is still one of trying and seeing what the reasoner says, because a systematic testbed for ontology authoring is missing. We sought to address this by introducing the approach of testdriven development for ontology authoring. We specify 3...
