This paper presents an approach to correct chromatic distortion within an image (vignetting) and to compensate for color response differences among similar cameras which equip a team of robots, based on Evolutionary Algorithms. Our black-box approach does not make assumptions concerning the physical/geometrical roots of the distortion, and the efficient implementation is suitable for real time ...

Beim Testen kommt der Wahl der Testfälle eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu, denn mit der Festlegung der Testfälle wird über die Chancen zur Fehlerentdeckung entschieden. Viele Untersuchungen gehen der Frage nach, ob beim Black-Box-Test oder beim Glass-Box-Test effektivere Testfälle entstehen. Heute ist sich die Literatur weitgehend einig, dass die beiden Testverfahren keine Alternativen bilden, s...

Black-box transformations have been extensively studied in algorithmic mechanism design as a generic tool for converting algorithms into truthful mechanisms without degrading the approximation guarantees. While such transformations have been designed for a variety of settings, Chawla et al. showed that no fully general black-box transformation exists for single-parameter environments. In this p...

We study the relationship between obfuscation and white-box cryptography. We capture the requirements of any white-box primitive using a White-Box Property (WBP) and give some negative/positive results. Loosely speaking, the WBP is defined for some scheme and a security notion (we call the pair a specification), and implies that w.r.t. the specification, an obfuscation does not leak any “useful...

A systematic review was conducted to know the state of the art in this field. Subsequently, Medplan platform was designed and developed by a multidisciplinary team composed of hospital pharmacist, primary care physicians, specialist physicians, patients and developers. Medplan was then tested by creating 5 fictitious patients using the white and black-box testing. Once the platform was validate...

h this paper we compare a number of structural testing strategies in terms of their relative coverage of the program’s structure and also in terms of the number of test cases needed to satisfy each strategy. We also discuss some of the deficiencies of such comparisons.

• An input f : [n]→ [M ] is equivalent to our usual input x1, . . . , xn where xi = f(i). • A Boolean function f : {0, 1} → {0, 1}. Note that the size of the input table is huge as a function of n. We can think of f as being given by a black box that allows us to evaluate f or in a form that we have to go out and collect. • More generally, a function f : Ω → Z, where Ω is some finite set. • f :...

The MUC-4 scores of recall, precision, and the F-measures are used to measure the performance of the participating systems. The differences in the scores between any two systems may be due to chance or may be due to a significant difference between the two systems. To rule out the possibility that the difference is due to chance, statistical hypothesis testing is used. The method of hypothesis ...

Testing is one of the most natural, intuitive and widely used methods to check the quality of software. One of the emerging and promising techniques for test automation is model-based testing. In model based testing, a model of the desired behavior of the implementation under test (IUT) is the starting point for test generation. In addition, this model serves as the oracle for test result analy...
