Test case generation is among the most labour-intensive tasks in software testing and also one that has a strong impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of software testing. For these reasons, it has also been one of the most active topics in the research on software testing for several decades, resulting in many different approaches and tools. This paper presents an orchestrated survey of t...

The Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) is a project to image the H i line emission and 1.4 GHz continuum in the fourth quadrant of the Milky Way at high resolution using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Parkes Radio Telescope. In this paper we describe the survey details and goals, present λ21-cm continuum data, and discuss H i absorption and emission characteristics of t...

Testing is an important phase of software development, to maintain the quality control and reliability of the end products. Recent approach has been taken by the researcher to use UML models for test case generation. Various works has been done on test case generation for concurrent and nonconcurrent systems. In case of concurrent system group of activities are executed simultaneously where as ...

Clinical psychologists are frequently called on to testify in court regarding mental health issues in civil or criminal cases. One of the legal criteria by which admissibility of testimony is determined includes whether the testimony is based on methods that have gained "general acceptance" in their field. In this study, we sought to evaluate the psychological tests used in forensic assessments...

As the density of VLSI circuits increases, it becomes attractive to integrate dedicated test logic on a chip. This Built-in Self-Test (BIST) approach not only offers economic benefits but also interesting technical opportunities with respect to hierarchical testing and the reuse of test logic during the application of the circuit. Starting with an overview on test problems, test applications an...

Context: The increasing adoption of test-driven development results in software projects with strong test suites. These suites include a large number of test cases, in which developers embed knowledge about meaningful input data and expected properties in the form of oracles. Objective: This article surveys various works that aim at exploiting this knowledge in order to enhance these manually w...

For developing successful software, testing is a very important component. In software testing, providing input, executes it and check expected output. Many techniques which automatically produce inputs have been proposed over the years, and today are able to produce test suites with high code coverage. In software testing a common scenario is that test data are generated and a tester manually ...

BACKGROUND Skin patch test is the gold standard method in diagnosing contact allergy. Although used for more than 100 years, the patch test procedure is performed with variability around the world. A number of factors can influence the test results, namely the quality of reagents used, the timing of the application, the patch test series (allergens/haptens) that have been used for testing, the ...

The primary goals of the appraisal are to document problems in question design and identify possible revisions. The review criteria are standard and so, the appraisal offers the promise of increased consistency in questionnaire review and revision. We have found that the household appraisal is a quick and inexpensive source of feedback when more extensive cognitive laboratory testing activities...

Regression testing is the process of validating modifications introduced in a system during software maintenance. As the test suite size is very large, system retesting consumes large amount of time and computing resources. This issue of retesting of software systems can be handled using a good test case prioritization technique. A prioritization technique schedules the test cases for execution...
