“…As we can see in Table 1, use case and sequence diagrams [35], [40], [42] are used as the input of test case generations. The proposed approach in [40] uses XMI parser for transformation to test cases.…”

“…Consequently, it is concluded that most of the studies of requirements based test case generation [24]- [29], [31]- [35], [37], [38], [40]-[43] have no focused on requirement coverage. Moreover, there is no cost-effective solution of test case generation in the literature.…”

The overall aim of software testing is to deliver the error-free and high-quality software products to the end users. The testing process ensures that a software is aligned with the user specification and requirements. In software testing process, there are many challenging tasks however test case generation process is considered as the most challenging one. The quality of the generated test cases has a significant impact on efficiency and effectiveness of the testing process. In order to improve the quality of a developed software, the test cases should be able to achieve maximum adequacy in the testing and requirements' coverage. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of the prominent requirement-based test case generation approaches. Five evaluation criteria namely, inputs for test case generation, transformation techniques, coverage criteria, time and tool's support are defined to systematically compare the approaches. The results of the evaluation are used to identify the gap in the current approaches and research opportunities in requirements-based test case's generation.

“…This aspect is one of the virtues of NDT by which this methodology has been applied successfully in many real projects. In this sense, NDT defines a set of supporting tools grouped in NDT-Suite [26]. The main tools in NDT-Suite are: (i) NDT-Profile, which defines UML profiles for each NDT metamodel; (ii) NDT-Quality [27], which measures the quality of use of NDT and checks semantic constraints of NDT; and (iii) NDT-driver [28], which allows running each QVT transformations between models in an automatic manner (for instance, this tool generates test cases from the specification of FRs of a project).…”

One of the most important and critical aspects to improve the quality assurance in software is to improve the testing process by utilizing techniques and tools, which will enhance the software testing process, making it more effective and efficient. This chapter presents ALAMEDA ecosystem, a software package that centers its efforts in software testing development and is a result from a real-world project. ALAMEDA provides support to lifecycles focused on the generation, implementation, and testing organization from the earliest stages of software development. In addition, the ecosystem provides an environment of rating the degree of compliance of organizations with the International Standard for Testing ISO/IEC-29119. It is proposed as a tool to use during the various iterations that may occur in an agile software development process.

“…Early testing focuses on the first phases of the software development lifecycle [33]. One of the reasons for integrating early testing in the selected approach is the benefits that it produces in reducing costs in the verification and validation phase, and the reduction of its complexity [34].…”

Early Integration Testing for Entity Reconciliation in the Context of Heterogeneous Data Sources

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Entity reconciliation (ER) aims to combine data from different sources for a unified vision. The management of large volumes of data has given rise to significant challenges to the ER problem due to facts such as data becoming more unstructured, unclean, and incomplete or the existence of many datasets that store information about the same topic. Testing the applications that implement the ER problem is crucial to ensure both the correctness of the reconciliation process and the quality of the reconciled data. This paper presents an approach based on model-driven engineering that allows the creation of test models for the early integration testing of ER applications, contributing in three main aspects: the description of the elements of the proposed framework, the definition of the testing model, and the validation of the proposal through two real-world case studies. This validation verifies that the early integration testing of the ER application is capable of detecting a series of deficiencies, which a priori are not known and that will help to improve the final result that the ER application offers.
