Software testing is time consuming and a costly activity. Effective generation of test cases is necessary in order to perform rigorous testing. There exist various techniques for effective test case generation. These techniques are based on various test adequacy criteria such as statement...

Testing in the Cloud is far more challenging than testing individual software services. A multitude of factors affect testing, including variations across platforms and infrastructure. Architectural issues include differences between private, public Clouds, multi-Clouds and Cloud-bursting....

This article describes how software vulnerability analysis and testing for web applications should detect not only the common attacks but also dynamic vulnerability attacks. These are the attacks such as structured query language injection attacks (SQLIAs) which will extract the most crucial...

This paper presents a mixed-method study performed in the software department of an automotive supplier operating in India as an offshore service provider to a German company. The research focuses on the social dimension and human aspects involved in software testing in an intercultural setting....

Software testing is regarded as a pivotal approach to realize a high reliable product. To check for the correctness of results, we require appropriate test cases. UML models are largely used to depict the specifications for software development. Test cases are created independently and based on...

Software testing is an essential stage of the software development life cycle which helps in producing bug free software. This paper introduces a strategy to create test data consequently from the beginning of test information which is tested against the Program under test (PUT) for ampleness...

Test cases do not have the same importance when used to detect faults in software; therefore, it is more efficient to test the system with the test cases that have the ability to detect the faults. This research proposes a new framework that combines data mining techniques to prioritize the test...

Fault prone components in open source software leads to huge loss and inadvertent effects if not properly identified and rigorously tested. Most of the reported studies in the literature have applied design metrics alone, to identify such critical components. But in reality, some of the...
