However, it is generally challenging to transfer research results into industrial products or into tools that are widely adopted. What are the key factors that lead to practical impact for a research project? This talk presents experiences and lessons learned in successfully transferring tools from two testing projects as collaborative efforts between the academia and industry. In the Pex project (research.microsoft.com/pex) [3], nearly a decade's collaborative efforts between Microsoft Research and academia have led to high-impact tools that are now shipped by Microsoft and adopted by the community. These tools include Fakes [2], a test isolation framework shipped with Visual Studio 2012/2013, IntelliTest, an automatic test generation tool shipped with Visual Studio 2015, and Code Hunt (www.codehunt.com) [1] (evolved from Pex4Fun [4]), a popular serious gaming platform for coding contests and practicing programming skills, which has attracted 350,000+ players from May 2014 to August 2016, and has been adopted in large-scale Microsoft Imagine Cup and Beauty of Programming contests. In the WeChat testing project, recent collaborative efforts [5], [6] between Tencent and academia have developed effective techniques for testing Android apps, by improving Google's Monkey, a popularly used Android testing tool in industry. The developed techniques have been applied to test WeChat, one of world's most popular messenger apps with over 800 million monthly active users.","PeriodicalId":141557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 12th International Workshop on Automation of Software Testing (AST)","volume":"383 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133363082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, human involvementin testing is unavoidable: What makes a test good is oftendown to intuition; what makes a test useful depends on anunderstanding of the program context; what makes a test findbugs depends on understanding the intended program behaviour.Because the consequences of insufficient testing can be dire, thispaper explores a new angle to address the testing problem:Gamification is the approach of converting potentially tediousor boring tasks to components of entertaining gameplay, wherethe competitive nature of humans motivates them to competeand excel. By applying gamification concepts to software testing,there is potential to fundamentally change software testing inseveral ways: First, gamification can help to overcome deficienciesin education, where testing is a highly neglected topic. Second,gamification engages practitioners in testing tasks they wouldotherwise neglect, and gets them to use advanced testing toolsand techniques they would otherwise not consider. Finally, gamificationmakes it possible to crowdsource complex testing tasksthrough games with a purpose. Collectively, these applications ofgamification have the potential to substantially improve softwaretesting practice, and thus software quality.","PeriodicalId":141557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 12th International Workshop on Automation of Software Testing (AST)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131131906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current approaches target library classes, but not full applications. A major obstacle for testing full applications is that they interact with the environment. For example, they access files on the hard drive or establish connections to remote servers. Thoroughly testing such applications requires tests that completely control the interactions between the application and its environment. Recent techniques based on mocking enable the generation of tests which include environment interactions, however, generating the right type of interactions is still an open problem. In this paper, we describe a novel approach which addresses this problem by enhancing search-based testing with complex test data generation. Experiments on an artificial system show that the proposed approach can generate effective unit tests. Compared with current techniques based on mocking, we generate more robust unit tests which achieve higher coverage and are, arguably, easier to read and understand.","PeriodicalId":141557,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACM 12th International Workshop on Automation of Software Testing (AST)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129000293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
