A Test-Driven Approach to Developing Pointcut Descriptors in AspectJ
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) languages introduce new constructs that can lead to new types of faults, which must be targeted by testing techniques. In particular, AOP languag...

Test Input Generation Using UML Sequence and State Machines Models
We propose a novel testing approach that combines information from UML sequence models and state machine models. Current approaches that rely solely on sequence models do not cons...

Generating Feasible Transition Paths for Testing from an Extended Finite State Machine (EFSM)
The problem of testing from an extended finite state machine (EFSM) can be expressed in terms of finding suitable paths through the EFSM and then deriving test data to follow the ...

Inferring Types of References to GUI Objects in Test Scripts
Since manual black-box testing of GUI-based APplications (GAPs) is tedious and laborious, test engineers create test scripts to automate the testing process. These test scripts in...

A Model Building Process for Identifying Actionable Static Analysis Alerts
Automated static analysis can identify potential source code anomalies early in the software process that could lead to field failures. However, only a small portion of static ana...
