Variable Strength Interaction Testing of Components
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complete interaction testing of components is too costly in all but the smallest systems. Yet component interactions are likely to cause unexpected faults. Recently, design of experiment techniques have been applied to software testing to guarantee a minimum coverage of all -way interactions across components. However, is always fixed. This paper examines the need to vary the size of in an individual test suite and defines a new object, the variable strength covering array, that has this property. We present some computational methods to find variable strength arrays and provide initial bounds for a group of these objects.

Construction of Variable Strength Covering Array for Combinatorial Testing Using a Greedy Approach to Genetic Algorithm
The limitation of time and budget usually prohibits exhaustive testing of interactions between components in a component based software system. Combinatorial testing is a software testing technique that can be used to detect faults in a component based software system caused by the interactions of components in an effective and efficient way. Most of the research in the field of combinatorial t...
متن کاملProfiles of covering arrays of strength two
Covering arrays of strength two have been widely studied as combinatorial models of software interaction test suites for pairwise testing. While numerous algorithmic techniques have been developed for the generation of covering arrays with few columns (factors), the construction of covering arrays with many factors and few tests by these techniques is problematic. Random generation techniques c...

متن کاملGenetic Programming Based Formulation to Predict Compressive Strength of High Strength Concrete
This study introduces, two models based on Gene Expression Programming (GEP) to predict compressive strength of high strength concrete (HSC). Composition of HSC was assumed simplified, as a mixture of six components (cement, silica fume, super-plastisizer, water, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate). The 28-day compressive strength value was considered the target of the prediction. Data on 159...
