Generative Acceptance Testing for Difficult-to-Test Software
نویسنده
چکیده
While there are many excellent acceptance testing tools and frameworks available today, this paper presents an alternative approach, involving generating code from tests specified in a declarative tabular format within Excel spreadsheets. While this is a general approach, it is most applicable to difficultto-test situations. Two such situations are presented: one involving complex fixture setup, and another involving complex application workflow concerns.

Acceptance sampling for attributes via hypothesis testing and the hypergeometric distribution
This paper questions some aspects of attribute acceptance sampling in light of the original concepts of hypothesis testing from Neyman and Pearson (NP). Attribute acceptance sampling in industry, as developed by Dodge and Romig (DR), generally follows the international standards of ISO 2859, and similarly the Brazilian standards NBR 5425 to NBR 5427 and the United States Standards ANSI/ASQC Z1....
متن کاملXePtance: Supporting Distributed Acceptance Tests in Extreme Programming Projects
Acceptance tests are of major importance for the successful roll-out of new software products. Any brilliantly engineered software unable to suit the user’s expectations will fail in practice. Tight time-to-market and limited resources makes acceptance testing difficult. This is especially true if multiple locations for development and testing are concerned. We argue that a solution must allow ...
متن کاملStructuring GUI Acceptance Tests based on Usage Scenarios
Software testing plays an important role in the overall software development process. However, many areas of software testing are still unexplored, or contain gaps in their existing body of knowledge, such as the area of GUI acceptance and system testing. This thesis aims to bridge this gap with results from a multiple-case study with the goal of investigating the current state of GUI acceptanc...

We present results of a case study looking at how domain knowledge is communicated to developers using executable acceptance test driven development at a large software development company. We collected and analyzed qualitative data on a large software development team's testing practices and their use of a custom-built executable acceptance testing tool. Our findings suggest that executable ac...
متن کاملRapid and Proactive Approach on Exploration of Bugs in Web based Software Development
One of the most difficult and important software quality assurance/testing tasks is to estimate the expected number of bugs in a given software module or a project. Good estimation methods are important for evaluating the project perform once in an optimized manner and deciding which quality assurance strategies are most appropriate and effective. The core objective of this paper is to define a...
