Abstract—As software evolves, engineers use regression testing to evaluate its fitness for release. Such testing typically begins with existing test cases, and many techniques h...
Previous studies of Object-Oriented (OO) software have reported avoidance of the inheritance mechanism and cast doubt on the wisdom of ‘deep’ inheritance levels. From an evolu...
During its lifetime, embedded systems go through multiple changes to their runtime architecture. That is, threads, processes, and processor are added or removed to/from the softwa...
Detection of malicious software (malware) by the use of static signatures is often criticized for being overly simplistic. Available methods of obfuscating code (so-called metamor...
