Unit Test Case Design Metrics in Test Driven Development

Teaching Unit Testing using Test-Driven Development

Of all testing levels, the unit level of testing has undergone the most recent and most dramatic change. With the introduction of new agile (aka, “lightweight”) development methods, such as XP (eXtreme Programming) came the idea of Test-Driven Development (TDD). TDD is a software development technique that melds program design, implementation and testing in a series micro-iterations that focus ...

Test case quality in test driven development: A study design and a pilot experiment

Background: Test driven development, as a sideeffect of developing software, will produce a set of accompanied test cases which can protect implemented features during code refactoring. However, recent research results point out that successful adoption of test driven development might be limited by the testing skills of developers using it. Aim: Main goal of this paper is to investigate if the...

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...
