Software Fault Interactions and Implications for Software Testing, June 2004
Exhaustive testing of computer software is intractable, but empirical studies of software failures suggest that testing can in some cases be effectively exhaustive. Data reported in this study and others show that software failures in a variety of domains were caused by combinations of relatively few conditions. These results have important implications for testing. If all faults in a system ca...
متن کاملSearch-Based Approaches to Software Fault Prediction and Software Testing
Software verification and validation activities are essential for software quality but also constitute a large part of software development costs. Therefore efficient and costeffective software verification and validation activities are both a priority and a necessity considering the pressure to decrease time-to-market and intense competition faced by many, if not all, companies today. It is th...
متن کاملObject state testing and fault analysis for reliable software systems
Object state behavior implies that the eeect of an operation on an object may depend on the states of the object and other objects. It may cause state changes to more than one object. Thus, the combined or composite eeects of the object operations must be analyzed and tested. We show that certain object state behavior errors cannot be detected readily by conventional testing methods. We describ...
متن کاملSoftware Quality, Software Process, and Software Testing
Software testing should play a major role in the de nition and improvement of software development processes, because testing is the most precise, most easily measured and controlled part of the software lifecycle. However, unless testing goals are clearly related to true measurements of software quality, the testing may appear to improve, but the software will not. Much of current testing theo...
متن کاملLRFI - Fault Injection Tool for Testing Mobile Software
Developing software for mobile platforms we face the problem of dealing with various erroneous situations, transient faults, component incompatibilities which influence their operations. This results in the need of embedding error detection mechanisms and handling them software procedures. This problem has been appreciated by Samsung. As the consequence of this need we have developed a special ...
