Accurate programming is a practical approach to producing high quality programs. It combines ideas from test-automation, test-driven development, agile programming, and other state of the art software development methods. In addition to building on approaches that have proven effective in practice, it emphasizes concepts that help programmers sharpen their understanding of both the problems the...

Testability is the degree to which a software artifact facilitates testing in a given test context. It is directly related to test effort reduction. A lack of testability, like other design faults, is expensive to repair when detected late during software development. Therefore, testability should be addressed already during reviews of early development artifacts. This paper describes different...

This paper presents a state-based approach to testing aspect-oriented programs. Aspectual state models, as an extension to the testable FREE state model of classes, are exploited to capture the impact of aspects on the state models of classes. To generate test suites for adequately testing object behavior and interaction between classes and aspects in terms of message sequences, we transform an...

In this paper we present a development tool for testing dialogue systems. Testing software through the specification is important for software development in general and should be as automated as possible. For dialogue systems, the corpus can be seen as one part of the specification and the dialogue system should be tested on available corpora on each new build. The testing tool is inspired fro...

The IT community has figured out how to design and implement exceptionally reusable classes amid the previous ten years. This was constrained by writing down the distinctive design patterns and characterizing the component based approach. Presently another aspect turns out to be increasingly vital: do these classes act like it has been characterized amid the design-phase? Existing testbenches d...

Test-Driven Development is the evolutionary approach in which unit test cases are incrementally written prior to code implementation. In our research, we will be doing comparative study of Test Driven development with traditional techniques through literature study as well as industrial survey. Through this research, we would like to find out the factors encouraging the use of Test Driven Devel...

Continuous testing is a technique in modern software development in which the source code is constantly unit tested in the background and there is no need for the developer to perform the tests manually. We propose an extension to this technique that combines it with well-established software engineering practice called TestDriven Development (TDD). In our practice, that we called Continuous Te...

In Behavior Driven Development (BDD), acceptance tests provide the starting point for the software design flow and serve as a basis for the communication between designers and stakeholders. In this agile software development technique, acceptance tests are written in natural language in order to ensure a common understanding between all members of the project. As a consequence, mapping the sent...

Agile development approaches are increasingly being followed and favored by the industry. Test Driven Development (TDD) is a key agile practice and recent research results suggest that the successful adoption of TDD depends on different limiting factors, one of them being insufficient developer testing skills. The goal of this paper is to investigate if developers who are educated on general te...

Regression testing is a testing process that is performed to provide confidence that changes in a part of software do not affect other parts of the software. Execution of the all existing test cases is the best way to re-establish the confidence. However, regression testing is an expensive process; there might be insufficient resources (e.g., time, testers) to allow for the re-execution of all ...
