“…It is important to point out that this paper does not focus on individual testing techniques that can be used within the testing process. For example, common testing techniques in ST for black‐box testing include, boundary value analysis , equivalence partitioning , and decision tables . For ST, the commonly used white‐box testing techniques include decision coverage , path coverage , multiple condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) , and data flow coverage .…”

SUMMARY Given the current state of the art in research, practitioners are faced with the challenge of choosing scripted testing (ST) or exploratory testing (ET). This study aims at systematically incorporating strengths of ET and ST in a hybrid testing process to overcome the weaknesses of each. We utilized systematic review and practitioner interviews to identify strengths and weaknesses of ET and ST. Strengths of ET were mapped to weaknesses of ST and vice versa. Noblit and Hare's lines‐of‐argument method was used for data analysis. The results of the mapping were used as input to codesign a hybrid process with experienced practitioners. We found a clear need to create a hybrid process as follows: (i) both ST and ET provide strengths and weaknesses, and these depend on some particular conditions, which prevents preference of one approach to another; and (ii) the mapping showed that it is possible to address the weaknesses in one process by the strengths of the other in a hybrid form. With the input from literature and industry experts, a flexible and iterative hybrid process was designed. Practitioners can clearly benefit from using a hybrid process given the mapping of advantages and disadvantages. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Sharma and Chandra (2010) propose to shape business rules into decision tables, and to use those for the generation of test suites. Same as our methodology, this is a black-box approach that does not require code inspection and has a potential to be automated, but lacks tool support and industry-level validation.…”

Software testing is a very delicate aspect of software development, since designing good test sets is a non-trivial task. In this article, we describe a testing technique for testing business rules using property-based testing and the property-based automatic testing tool QuickCheck. Systematic, effective, and efficient testing of business rules increases the confidence on the validation of business concepts and domain rules which are specifically critical to data consistency. The approach is presented on the basis of small but representative examples in order to facilitate the readers' understanding, but it has been successfully evaluated in a number of different industrial examples, demonstrating that it generalises to much larger systems and is, thus, broadly applicable.

“…as well as to model their possible combinations (Sharma and Chandra B., 2010;Feng et al, 2011). Decision Tables (DTs) have been associated to cause-effect graphs (Section 2.3.1), though they can be directly applied for testing (Binder, 1999;Myers et al, 2004;Mathur, 2008).…”
