—Web applications are increasingly becoming the most important platform for software applications in industry, with many modelling languages proposed to handle the complexity of ...
Abstract—Test coverage such as branch coverage is commonly measured to assess the sufficiency of test inputs. To reduce tedious manual efforts in generating high-covering test i...

—To improve software quality, static or dynamic verification tools accept programming rules as input and detect their violations in software as defects. As these programming rul...
—Developers often change software in ways that cause tests to fail. When this occurs, developers must determine whether failures are caused by errors in the code under test or in...
