Covering array sampling of input event sequences for automated gui testing
This paper describes a new automated technique to generate test cases for GUIs by using covering arrays (CAs). The key motivation is to generate long GUI event sequences that are ...

Applying Interface-Contract Mutation in Regression Testing of Component-Based Software
Regression testing, which plays an important role in software maintenance, usually relies on test adequacy criteria to select and prioritize test cases. However, with the wide use...

Fault Detection Probability Analysis for Coverage-Based Test Suite Reduction
Test suite reduction seeks to reduce the number of test cases in a test suite while retaining a high percentage of the original suite’s fault detection effectiveness. Most appro...

Towards Raising the Failure of Unit Tests to the Level of Compiler-Reported Errors
Running unit tests suites with contemporary tools such as JUNIT can show the presence of bugs, but not their locations. This is different from checking a program with a compiler, w...
