Portability testing of scientific computing software systems

Abstract

Software testing is considered to be the ultimate obstacle before software can be released. Traditional approaches to testing the software revolves around capabilities of a system using various types of testing (e.g., black-box) at various level of software development process. Testing the software for system-wide qualities such as portability is very rare. The research work in this area is very limited. In this work, we discuss the importance of portability testing and attempt to explore a testing approach to test the portability of Scientific Computing (SC) software using different platforms. The main incentive for testing of SC software is that this class of software is challenging because of the elements such as computing environment, computational mathematics, languages, optimization; these elements play significant roles in success or failure of these systems.

Claims about the use of software engineering practices in science: A systematic literature review

“…T2: Scientific software developers benefit from using a wide range of testing practices from software engineering. Twelve studies made this claim [19,28,37,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. One method of addressing the problem in T1 is to use test-driven development to keep bugs such as these from remaining in their code in addition to doing a regular, automated build in order to test their code on a regular basis rather than waiting until project is completed [19,37,39,42].…”

P2P Communication among Computers and Smartphones Based on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct Technologies

“…According to Rahul [13], and Wilcox [14], portability refers to the ease use by which a software system can be made to operate on different platforms. Since web based application of P2P communication has been developed with ASP.net MVC programming language, and it runs over different desktop and mobile web browsers either locally or remotely over P2P network.…”
