Manual testing is hard and time consuming and it maybe impossible for large systems or tester mistake in the test. The software testing is the rising cost of activities in development software and the test case generation is important activity in software testing. Hence researches performed to automate testing such as automatic test case generation. This paper reports a survey of recent researc...

In this paper, we introduce a model based approach for integration test cases generation. The approach is based on UML 2 Testing Profile and follows the Mode-Driven Architecture for generating integration test cases from unit test models. The generated test models can be exported to test execution environments such as JUnit and TTCN-3 for execution and evaluation.

Retrieval of cases is one important step within the case-based reasoning paradigm. We propose an improvement of this stage in the process model for nding most similar cases with an average eeort of Olog2n], n number of cases. The basic idea of the algorithm is to use the heterogeneity of the search space for a density-based structuring and to employ this precomputed structure, a k-d tree, for e...

The CORAL approach is a model-based method to security testing employing risk assessment to help security testers select and design test cases based on the available risk picture. In this paper we present experiences from using CORAL in an industrial case. The results indicate that CORAL supports security testers in producing risk models that are valid and threat scenarios that are directly tes...

Mutation Testing is a well-established technique for assessing the quality of test cases by checking how well they detect faults injected into a software artefact (mutant). Using this technique, the most critical activity is the adequate design of mutation operators so that they reflect typical defects of the artefact under test. This paper presents the design of a set of mutation operators for...

Mobile geo–location advertising, where mobile ads are targeted based on a user’s location, has been identified as a key growth factor for the mobile market. As with online advertising, a crucial ingredient for their success is the development of effective economic mechanisms. An important difference is that mobile ads are shown sequentially over time and information about the user can be learne...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for understanding value-added and abuse prevention activities in business processes. Design/methodology/approach – The paper considers business processes as a regulation mechanism that an organization uses to survive and flourish in its environment. It proposes a theoretical framework based on the concept of homeostasis, the maintena...

The problem of generating the test cases is one of the most important issues in the software testing research and practice. Test threads, especially the thin-threads which are the usage scenarios in a software system, are frequently used to generate test cases for the scenario-based software testing. However, the derivation of the test threads is usually a manual and labor-intensive task. In th...

Traceability has been held as an important factor in testing activities as well as modeldriven development. Vertical traceability affords us opportunities to improve manageability from models and test cases to a code in testing and debugging phase. This paper represents a vertical test method which connects a system test level and an integration test level in testing stage by using UML. An expe...

This article briefly presents the notion of plasticity. Plasticity refers to a particular sort of user interface adaptation. A new process model that supports the structured development of plastic user interfaces is described and illustrated with a test case.
