With the increasing popularity of continuous integration, algorithms for selecting the minimal test-suite to cover a given set of changes are in order. This paper reports on how polymorphism can handle false negatives in a previous algorithm which uses method-level changes in the base-code to deduce which tests need to be rerun. We compare the approach with and without polymorphism on two disti...

It is important to recognize that several years of hands on experience are required for one to become a true test expert. However, it is critical to ensure that students are equipped with the skills that will make them successful designers when they leave their academic institutions. Fundamentals of VLSI design and testability would provide them with a solid foundation to build upon going forward.

A medical system is complicated because it has many sub-modules and is connected with many kinds of other systems. Because software faults tend to occur in interoperation among modules, a safety-critical medical system should be tested strictly in terms of integration. At integration testing phase, there are too many execution path of software to test, that makes testing difficult. To deal with...

the growth of regional trade blocks has been one of the major developments in international relations in recent years. regional agreements vary widely but, all have the objective of reducing barriers to trade between member countries that in most cases result in increasingly trade flows and economic growth. this paper attempts to explore the results of trade integration in eco, eu and oic block...

Integration testing plays a crucial role in componentbased software development. In complementary to the existing works on the selection of test cases and measurement of test adequacy in integration testing, this paper focuses on questions about how to observe the behaviours of a large and complicated system during dynamic testing. We first analyse the structure of whitebox integration testing ...

The success of a Component Based System (CBS) relies on integrating individual components. CBS integration testing encounters challenges similar to traditional testing; and aims to prioritize test cases with a potential benefit of improving the rate of fault detection. In this paper, we present a CBS integration testing framework to identify integration test criteria and prioritize test cases. ...

Drawing on the supply chain (SC) management literature, this article conceptualizes and empirically tests a framework that shows how both external and internal integration practices are significant and positively associated with SC value addition and firm performance. The framework also tests the impact of value addition as a reinforcing factor on firm performance. The outcome of this investiga...
