Application of Two Test Generation Tools to an Industrial Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many tools for test generation already exist and are used in industry; others are under development or improvement to allow faster generation and more effective tests. Comparing testing tools permits to acquire in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of each tool and to discover its strong points and limitations. Thus, the analysis of different automatic test generation tools provides a precise idea on the appropriate tool to be used to attain the expected results. This paper describes the application of two test generation tools to an industrial case study: a reverse directory telephone service similar to deployed services of this category developed by France Telecom. The tools used, for the automatic test generation, are a commercial tool TestComposer and SIRIUS, a tool developed by INT team. France Telecom R&D division provided the test campaign designed manually by a France Telecom service expert used to define the test objectives. The goal of this paper is to present the experimental results of tools application, to compare their performances and analyze some issues related to test execution.

In recent years, Model-Based Testing (MBT) has attracted an increasingly wide interest from industry and academia. The beneficial use of MBT, however, requires tools that not only automate the testing process, but that also rely in an extensible and configurable architecture that make them adaptable to various contexts of application. Though a number of tools have been developed to support MBT,...

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
متن کاملCombinatorial Modeling and Test Case Generation for Industrial Control Software using ACTS
Combinatorial testing has been suggested as an effective method of creating test cases at a lower cost. However, industrially applicable tools for modeling and combinatorial test generation are still scarce. As a direct effect, combinatorial testing has only seen a limited uptake in industry that calls into question its practical usefulness. This lack of evidence is especially troublesome if we...
