Evaluating Rogue User Testing: an Industrial Case Study at Softeam
نویسندگان
چکیده
Testing applications with a graphical user interface (GUI) is an important, though challenging and time consuming task. The state of the art in the industry are still capture and replay tools, which may simplify the recording and execution of input sequences, but do not support the tester in finding fault-sensitive test cases. While search-based test case generation strategies, such as evolutionary testing are well researched for various areas of testing, relatively little work has been done on applying these techniques to an entire GUI of an application. In earlier works we presented the Rogue User Technique, which allows fully automatic testing of complex GUI-based applications to find severe faults such as crashes or non-responsiveness. In order to evaluate the utility and acceptance of the Rogue User in an industrial context, we carried out a case study with Softeam, a Paris-based company that participates in the FITTEST project. This document presents the results of this study.

متن کاملAnalyzing the Applicability of a Combinatorial Testing Tool in an Industrial Environment
Numerous combinatorial testing tools are available for generating test cases. However, many of them are never used in practice. One of the reasons is the lack of empirical studies that involve human subjects applying testing techniques. This paper aims to investigate the applicability of a combinatorial testing tool in the company SOFTEAM. A case study is designed and conducted within the devel...
متن کاملFostering Analysis from Industrial Embedded Systems Modeling
In most industrial embedded systems development projects, the software and the hardware development parts are separated, and the constraint requirements/capabilities are informally exchanged in the system development phase of the process. To prevent failures due to the violation of timing constraints, hardware components of the platform are typically over dimensioned for the capabilities needed...
متن کاملDesigning and Evaluating an Education-based Follow-up System for Cardiac Patients
Introduction: Chronic diseases are among the most challenging health issues in the world. Although no definitive treatment has been found for such diseases, electronic health strategies can dramatically reduce their complications by enhancing patientschr('39') awareness and monitoring their treatment. The main objective of this study was to design an education-based follow-up system for cardiac...
