Random testing (RT), the selection of input test cases at random from the input domain, is a simple and efficient method of software testing. RT does not however make use of previously executed test case information; in particular, information about nonfailure-causing test cases is ignored. Intuitively, use of this positive feedback information can improve the failure-finding efficiency of a testing method. Adaptive random testing (ART) makes use of knowledge of general failure pattern types, and information of previously executed test cases, in the selection of new test cases. A failure pattern in a program's input domain is composed of the regions of failure-causing inputs. Previous research has categorized failure patterns broadly into three types: point; strip; and block, and has identified important implications for the failure-finding efficiency of test methods, depending on the failure pattern type. In particular, it has been found that for nonpoint type patterns, the efficiency of RT can be improved upon by simple modification of the basic approach: by ensuring a more even and widespread distribution of test cases over the input domain, the number of test cases required to find the first failure (F-measure) can be reduced dramatically. This insight has motivated several adaptive random testing methods, and produced convincing results. This paper introduces some of the research in this area and suggests areas of interest for future work.","PeriodicalId":260047,"journal":{"name":"Eleventh Annual International Workshop on Software Technology and Engineering Practice","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132209285","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}

Specifically, causes of defect injection and non- or late-detection are explored. Because of the practical difficulties of obtaining hard project-specific defect data, an approach was taken that relied upon accumulated expert knowledge. The accumulated expert knowledge based approach was found to be a practical alternative to an in-depth defect causal analysis on a per-project basis. Defect injection causes seem to be concentrated in the requirements specification phases. Defect dispersion is likely to increase, as requirements specifications are input for derived requirements specifications in multiple, related sub-projects. Similarly, a concentration of causes for the non- or late detection of defects was found in the Integration Test phases. Virtual development increases the likelihood of defects in the end product because of the increased likelihood of defect dispersion, because of new virtual development related defect causes, and because causes already existing in co-located development are more likely to occur.","PeriodicalId":260047,"journal":{"name":"Eleventh Annual International Workshop on Software Technology and Engineering Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123483404","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}

A key challenge in any information integration task is to resolve the heterogeneity among the semantic terminologies used in the various information sources to be integrated. This paper describes how ontologies can be developed to achieve this resolution of semantic heterogeneity. We discuss a case study with a particular focus in the application domain of health care, namely palliative care. We begin by describing the methodology upon which our ontology is designed. The methodology description includes details on the conceptual framework and formalization of the framework to design our ontology. We then illustrate proposed implementation of the ontology in two ways. First, we show its use in creating patient specific clinical practice guidelines. Second, we describe the use of the ontology in palliative care systems by showing how it can assist in database design, decision support, and act as knowledge management tool for facilitating information sharing.","PeriodicalId":260047,"journal":{"name":"Eleventh Annual International Workshop on Software Technology and Engineering Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129103884","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}
