Abstract

Various regression test selection strategies have been developed to establish the correctness of software systems upon deployment of COTS upgrades. These strategies recommend a smaller regression test suite to be re-executed. We present a process that identifies the patch impact on the system and localizes the source of potential errors without executing the system test suite. The impact is analyzed based on verifying the behavior of affected COTS API execution-sequences. An API execution-sequence is called affected when one or more of the altered functions of the COTS upgrade are part of COTS API execution-sequence that interfaces with application components. A wrapper-based passive test oracle has been developed to check the correctness of the behavior of these execution-sequences. The changed behavior of these execution-sequences reflects the patch impact. A case study has been conducted and the results are encouraging

通过对API执行顺序的验证来评估应用程序在COTS升级部署中的正确性

已经开发了各种回归测试选择策略，以在部署COTS升级时建立软件系统的正确性。这些策略建议重新执行较小的回归测试套件。我们提出了一个过程，它可以识别补丁对系统的影响，并在不执行系统测试套件的情况下定位潜在错误的来源。通过验证受影响的COTS API执行序列的行为来分析影响。当COTS升级的一个或多个改变的功能是与应用程序组件接口的COTS API执行序列的一部分时，API执行序列被称为受影响的。开发了一个基于包装的被动测试oracle来检查这些执行序列的行为是否正确。这些执行序列的行为变化反映了补丁的影响。进行了个案研究，结果令人鼓舞
