Tool-Supported Test Case Design for Black-Box Testing by Means of the Classification-Tree Editor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The systematic test is an inevitable part of the verification and validation process for software. The most important prerequisite for a thorough software test is the design of relevant test cases, since they determine the kind and scope and hence the quality of the test. The graphical editor CTE (classification-tree editor) presented in this paper supports the systematic design of black-box test cases. The tool is based on the classification-tree method, an approach to partition testing which uses a descriptive tree-like notation and which is especially suited for automation. The tool has already been tried out successfully on actual examples in various divisions of the Daimler-Benz Group. Prerequisite

Test Case Design by Means of the CTE XL
Although black-box tests are very important for the quality assurance of software systems, only a few methods for systematic black-box test case design have found their way into the industrial world. The Classification-Tree Method is a particularly efficient testing method for which tool support is available in form of the Classification-Tree Editor CTE. This paper introduces a new version of t...

متن کاملDistributed Black-Box Software Testing Using Negative Selection
In the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. Many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. Negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of Artificial Immune System (AIS) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. In this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...
متن کاملTest case selection for black-box regression testing of database applications
Context: This paper presents an approach for selecting regression test cases in the context of large-scale, database applications. We focus on a black-box (specification-based) approach, relying on classification tree models to model the input domain of the system under test (SUT), in order to obtain a more practical and scalable solution. We perform an industrial case study where the SUT is a ...
متن کاملTest-Case Design by Feature Trees
This paper proposes a test-case design method for black-box testing, called “Feature Oriented Testing (FOT)”. The method is realized by applying Feature Models (FMs) developed in software product line engineering to test-case designs. We develop a graphical language for test-case design called “Feature Trees for Testing (FTT)” based on FMs. To firmly underpin the method, we provide a formal sem...
