“…From a conceptual viewpoint, the dynamic nature of the problem of possible limited network connectivity during SUT operation might point future research directions towards adding more agility to the approach as well. In this sense, dynamic construction of the SUT model and its subsequent combination with model-based test case generation, as successfully tried with web-based software systems [5,7,4], might be a perspective method as well in the IoT systems. Such an approach has to be examined further.…”

For Internet of Things (IoT) systems operating in areas with limited network connectivity, reliable and safe functionality must be ensured. This can be done using special test cases which are examining system behavior in cases of network outage and restoration. These test cases have to be optimal when approached from the testing effort viewpoint. When approached from the process viewpoint, in the sense that a business process supported by a tested system might be affected by a network outage and restoration, test cases can be automatically generated using a suitable model-based testing (MBT) technique. This technique is currently available in the open freeware Oxygen MBT tool. In this paper, we explain the principle of the technique, a process model of the tested system that may be affected by limited network connectivity, and support for this specialized MBT technique on the Oxygen platform.

“…However, this needs to be balanced, as extensive pointcuts may obscure the intent. Furthermore, automatically recorded tester actions over the system being tested [7] could be used to interactively generate pointcuts.…”

By operating at a very detailed level, unit tests are very susceptible to changes in production code. Writing unit tests in aspect-oriented programming can help with their maintainability. However, the existing approaches do not take into account so-called pointcut fragility: a failure to address the intended join points due to small changes in the base code. An approach to increasing unit test resilience to changes in production code by decreasing pointcut fragility is proposed in this paper. The approach is implemented in AspectJ with JUnit used as a test oracle. The approach has been evaluated on several scenarios encompassing typical code modification that render unusable the tests written in a simple object-oriented way. The approach proposed in this paper managed to make the test resilient to the most of the changes introduced by these scenarios.

“…Many advantages of exploratory testing have been summarized through the research of many scholars and professionals, especially compared to script test. For example, exploratory testing can find more defects, more types of defects, and more serious defects [4] [28] ; exploratory testing can reduce the false positive rate of defects and improve the efficiency of defect detection [4][16] [20][24] [27] ; exploratory testing allows testers to take advantage of people's creativity, experience, and skills without being constrained by preconceived assumptions [8][10] [18][19] [20] ; it can also help increase testers' interest in testing, motivate testers to actively learn about the system under test, and accumulate knowledge about system behavior and failures for later use [29][30] [31] .…”

Compared with scripted test, exploratory testing has the advantages of finding more defects and higher quality defects. However, in decades there are few researches on the proprietary testing methods for exploratory testing. In this paper, a new express delivery testing method is proposed based on the inspiration of the FedEx tour method and the express industry mode. The test types of the express delivery testing method are expanded from data to data, interaction objects and activities, states of internal and external and sequence of activities. Through practice verification, compared with the FedEx tour method, this method can excavate hidden test points that are easy to be missed, design more test cases, find more faults, and has higher test effectiveness.
