This paper outlines a general strategy for automated black-box testing of software components that includes: automatic generation of component test drivers, automatic generation of black-box test data, and automatic or semi-automatic generation of component wrappers that serve as test oracles. This research in progress unifies several threads of testing research, and preliminary work indicates ...

In the manufacturing domain, few new distributed systems are built ground-up; most contain wrapped legacy components. While the legacy components themselves are already well-tested, imperfect integration can introduce subtle faults that are outside the prime target area of generic integration and system tests. One might postulate that focused testing for integration faults could improve the yie...

Random testing is a well known concept that requires that each test is selected randomly regardless of the test previously applied. This paper introduces the concept of antirandom testing. In this testing strategy each test applied is chosen such that its total distance from all previous tests is maximum. Two distance measures are defined. Procedures to construct antirandom sequences are develo...

In a component-based development approach system integration generally implies the packaging of software components on hardware units, hiding the interface of a component inside the unit. Thus, integration testing is done on the (logical) component as well as the (technical) unit level, to ensure the correctness of each component in isolation as well as of the complete system combined with the ...

Mutation Testing is white box testing technique that analyze the code under different values, bounds and constraints. It also analyzes the data values associated to different operators and evaluates their significance over the code. Further this operator based analysis helps in identifying the scope and limitations along with the relevancy, robustness and effectiveness of code. Mutation testing...
