tm is a program designed to test systems by simulating over-exaggerated use. The program can be used to check the accuracy of shared resources of a system or determine if a system will fail under intensive use. The simulation of users is done by threads running scripts. The configuration of tm and a description of the scripting language is included. A real test using tm is described and the res...

The sheer complexity of Web applications and inadequate approaches to analyze, design or update such projects generate incorrect environments, which are the source of potential risks. Poor applications reflect low availability, maintenance difficult and questionable efficiency in the services they provide. At present the quality assurances schemes still performed manually. A group of evaluators...

This study tested the generalizability of the consistency effect to real-world settings. The consistency effect refers to the finding that items inconsistent with expectations are better recalled and recognized than items consistent with expectations. In two experiments, subjects walked into a graduate student's office or a preschool classroom. Half of the items in each setting were consistent ...

Multi-site testing is a technique where a large number of dies are tested in parallel to increase silicon test throughput. The stimuli is stored on the tester and applied concurrently to all the dies on the test board and compared against the response data. To achieve multi-site testing of 16X, 32X, 64X, or 128X, the number of tester-contacted pins must be very low. The overall tester data and ...

The problem of testing monotonicity of a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} has received much attention recently. Denoting the proximity parameter by ε, the best tester is the non-adaptive Õ( √ n/ε) tester of Khot-Minzer-Safra (FOCS 2015). Let I(f) denote the total influence of f . We give an adaptive tester whose running time is I(f)poly(ε logn).
