Since testing is inherently incomplete, test selection has vital importance. Coverage measures evaluate the quality of a test suite and help the tester select test cases with maximal impact at minimum cost. Existing coverage criteria for test suites are usually defined in terms of syntactic characteristics of the implementation under test or its specification. Typical black-box coverage metrics...

In this paper, the test suite construction for GUI (Graphical User Interface) software may be executed centered on grey-box approach with prior design of window access controls unit testing, including front-end method white box and follow-up black integration testing. Moreover, two key opinions are proposed software, first one is that “Triple-step method” should used testing disposing data boun...

The maturity of object-oriented methods has led to the wide availability of container classes: classes that encapsulate classical data structures and algorithms. Container classes are included in the C++ and Java standard libraries, and in many proprietary libraries. The wide availability and use of these classes makes reliability essential, and testing plays a key role in achieving that reliab...

We replicated a controlled experiment first run in the early 1980’s to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of 50 student subjects who used three defectdetection techniques to observe failures and isolate faults in small C programs. The three techniques were code reading by stepwise abstraction, functional (black-box) testing, and structural (white-box) testing. Two internal replications s...

User interfaces that adapt their characteristics to those of the user are referred to as adaptive interfaces. We propose Adaptive Agent Oriented Software Architecture (AAOSA) as a new way of designing adaptive interfaces. AAOSA is a new approach to software design based on an agent-oriented architecture. In this approach agents are considered adaptively communicating concurrent modules which ar...

While it is abundantly clear that black box reuse ooers the best return on investment in terms of quality gains and productivity gains, it is equally clear (on the basis of empirical evidence) that black box reuse accounts for a small percentage of code that is developed with reuse. Applications that are developed with reuse typically include no more than 15 % of black box-reused code, vs 60 to...

A new approach to software design based on an agent-oriented architecture is presented. Unlike current research, we consider software to be designed and implemented with this methodology in mind. In this approach agents are considered adaptively communicating concurrent modules which are divided into a white box module responsible for the communications and learning, and a black box which is th...

We consider the problem of recovering the internal specification of a general SP-network consisting of three linear layers (A) interleaved with two Sbox layers (S) (denoted by ASASA for short), given only black-box access to the scheme. The decomposition of such general ASASA schemes was first considered at ASIACRYPT 2014 by Biryukov et al. which used the alleged difficulty of this problem to p...

A typical component-based system architecture comprises a set of components that have been purposefully designed and structured to ensure that they have "pluggable" interfaces and an acceptable match with a defined system context. However, the black-box nature of many software components means there is never a clean match between system specifications and concrete software components. Systemati...

Test generation and execution are often hampered by the large state spaces of the systems involved. In automata (or transition system) based test algorithms, taking advantage of symmetry in the behavior of specification and implementation may substantially reduce the amount of tests. We present a framework for describing and exploiting symmetries in black box test derivation methods based on fi...
