Multi-Level Test Models for Embedded Systems
Abstract: Test methodologies for large embedded systems fail to reflect the test process as a whole. Instead, the test process is divided into independent test levels feaifferences...

Prioritization of Regression Tests using Singular Value Decomposition with Empirical Change Records
During development and testing, changes made to a system to repair a detected fault can often inject a new fault into the code base. These injected faults may not be in the same f...

Pattern-Constrained Test Case Generation
In this paper we present a novel approach for patternconstrained test case generation. The generation of test cases with known characteristics is usually a non-trivial task. In co...
