The infrastructure of the system consists of a light weight agent platform that supports agent communication, an ontology of software testing that enables flexible integration of multiple agents, and a formalism using XML to represent both the basic and compound concepts of the ontology. Relations between testing concepts are defined and their properties are analysed. A number of agents are implemented to perform various tasks in testing Web-based applications. Broker agents use the ontology as a means of inferences to manage the knowledge about agents and assign each task to the most appropriate agent.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.

Due to the dynamic properties of the system and the insufficiency of the failure data, the accurate values of the parameters are hard to determine. Therefore, the sensitivity analysis is often used in this stage to deal with this problem. Sensitivity analysis provides a way to analyzing the impact of the different parameters. In order to assess the reliability of a component-based software, we propose a new approach to analyzing the reliability of the system, based on the reliabilities of the individual components and the architecture of the system. Furthermore, we present the sensitivity analysis on the reliability of a component-based software in order to determine which of the components affects the reliability of the system most. Finally, three general examples are evaluated to validate and show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.

If an operator can be tricked into running such a program its abilities to manipulate a system are unlimited. This work, which addresses Windows 2000/XP, is a part of our effort of creating a protected execution environment for applications with high security demands. We analyse attacks by malicious programs that manipulate systems components during their installation by an administrator. It turns out that most of these manipulations are likely to remain unnoticed by the human user. However, we show that the operating system's protection mechanisms can be used to prevent or detect all manipulations that can endanger our protected environment. We combine these mechanisms in a restricted shell, which the administrator should use for the execution of possibly untrustworthy programs.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.

Smart debugging software architectural design in SDL SDL中的智能调试软件体系结构设计

{"title":"Smart debugging software architectural design in SDL","authors":"W. E. Wong, T. Sugeta, Yu Qi, J. Maldonado","doi":"10.1109/CMPSAC.2003.1245320","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CMPSAC.2003.1245320","url":null,"abstract":"Statistical data show that it is much less expensive to correct software bugs at the early design stage rather than the late stage of the development process when the final system has already been implemented and integrated together. The use of slicing and execution histories as an aid in software debugging is well established for programming languages like C and C++; however, it is rarely applied in the field of software design specification. We propose a solution by applying the source code level technologies to debugging software designs represented in a high-level specification and description language such as SDL. More specifically, we extend execution slice-based heuristics from source code-based debugging to the software design specification level. Suspicious locations in an SDL specification are prioritized by their likelihood of containing faults. Locations with a higher priority should be examined first rather than those with a lower priority as the former are more likely to contain the faults. A debugging tool, SmartD/sub DSL/, with user-friendly interfaces was developed to support our method. An illustration is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of using our method to effectively debug an architectural design.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.

Yet component interactions are likely to cause unexpected faults. Recently, design of experiment techniques have been applied to software testing to guarantee a minimum coverage of all t-way interactions across components. However, t is always fixed. This paper examines the need to vary the size of t in an individual test suite and defines a new object, the variable strength covering array that has this property. We present some computational methods to find variable strength arrays and provide initial bounds for a group of these objects.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.

We propose a method to confirm the suitability of a formal method. The method is realized as a pilot course based on the PSP. A course mentioned in this paper is designed for a typical formal method, VDM. Our course also helps beginners of VDM to learn VDM gradually and naturally. During the course, they can confirm its suitability as follows; first, they practice several exercises for software development, while techniques of VDM are introduced gradually. Second, process data and product data of software development are recorded in each exercise. Third, by evaluating these data by several metrics, they can confirm the suitability of VDM for their work.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.

Verifying the conformance of query results to the real world is identified as the most expensive problem. An approach from database quality assessment is adapted, by combining it with conventional software reliability testing, so that the verification can be replaced with two significantly easier test obligations. The resulting procedure should achieve a good compromise between the confidence level of the results and the testing effort. The approach seems also applicable to a broader range of systems.","PeriodicalId":173397,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 27th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference.
