Abstract This document discusses data flow testing: a form of structural (white box) testing that is a variant on path testing, focussing on the definition and usage of variables, rather than the structure of the program. Two different topics relating to data flow testing are
An experimental evaluation of data flow and mutation testing
free download
This paper presents two experimental comparisons of data ow and mutation testing. These two techniques are widely considered to be e ective for unit-level software testing, but can only be analytically compared to a limited extent. We compare the
Automatic test data generation for data flow testing using a genetic algorithm
free download
ABSTRACT One of the major difficulties in software testing is the automatic generation of test data that satisfy a given adequacy criterion. This paper presents an automatic test data generation technique that uses a genetic algorithm (GA), which is guided by the data flow
Data-flow-based testing of object-oriented libraries
free download
Data-flow-based testing is a well-established approach to program testing. Much object-oriented code is written as libraries; hence data-flow-based testing of object-oriented libraries is of great importance. However, finding def-use relationships in libraries written
Control and data flow testing on function block diagrams
free download
ABSTRACT. As programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have been used in safety-critical applications, testing of PLC applications has become important. The previous PLC-based software testing technique generates intermediate code, such as C, from function block
Dependence testing: Extending data flow testing with control dependence
free download
This paper presents a new approach to structural testing, called dependence testing. First we propose dependence oriented coverage criteria that extend conventional data flow oriented coverage criteria with control dependence. This allows one to capture the full
A state-based testing approach providing data flow coverage in object-oriented class testing
free download
Abstract A novel Object-Oriented class testing approach, proposed in this paper, combines functional with structural testing techniques. Based on state-based testing, test cases generated from the MACT (Method for Automatic Class Testing) tool can be used to
An approach to integration testing based on data flow specifications
free download
Integration testing of programs based on formal specifications can benefit considerably from the comprehensibility of specifications. In this paper, we describe an approach to testing programs based on data-flow-oriented specifications by analyzing data flow paths and
A Hybrid Object-Oriented Class Testing Method-Based on State-Based and Data-Flow Testing
free download
ABSTRACT A new hybrid object-oriented class testing method, which combines state-based testing with data-flow testing approaches, is proposed in this paper. Based on this approach, an automated class test tool, called MACT (Method for Automated Class Testing), has
Data-flow integration testing adapted to runtime evolution in component-based systems
free download
ABSTRACT Systems of Systems are large-scale information centric component-based systems. Because they can be more easily expressed as an information flow, they are built following the data-flow paradigm. These systems present high availability requirements
Data flow coverage for testing Erlang programs
free download
ABSTRACT Flow graph oriented testing is heavily used in industry, but has not yet been adapted to functional programming. Carrying over this approach from imperative programs to other programming paradigms consists of adapting the notion of flow graphs, and the
A New Software Data-Flow Testing Approach via Ant Colony Algorithms
free download
ABSTRACT Search-based optimization techniques (eg, hill climbing, simulated annealing, and genetic algorithms) have been applied to a wide variety of software engineering activities including cost estimation, next release problem, and test generation. Several
On the Subsumption Relationship in Data-flow Testing
free download
ABSTRACT. Data-flow (DF) testing was introduced to achieve more comprehensive structural evaluation of programs. It requires tests that traverse a path in which the definition of a variable and its subsequent use, ie, a definition-use association (dua), is exercised.
Data flow considerations for source code directed testing of functional programs

ABSTRACT Testing of software components during their development is a heavily used approach to detect programming errors and to evaluate the quality of software. Systematic approaches to software testing get a more and more increasing impact on software

Teaching Data Flow Testing in an Software Engineering Course
free download
C Liu ,testingeducation.org ABSTRACT One common approach to structural testing of software programs is to design and select test cases according to control flows of software programs. Data flow testing not only does that but also pays attention to how a variable is defined and used at different places
Performing Data Flow Testing on Object-Oriented Classes
free download
BY Tsai, S Stobart, N Parrington, G Tang ,bytsai.mtwww.mt.au.edu.tw ABSTRACT At the class testing level, state-based testing and data flow testing techniques have been employed. Whilst the state-based testing only involves the variables that have an effect on the behaviour of the object under test, it is possible for errors to occur in variables that
Dynamic Data Flow Testing In Object Oriented Paradigm

M Rashmi, MA Saha ABSTRACT A Large part of computer programs consists of data declarations. Thus, an increased focus on Data Flow Testing should be considered. Data flow Analysis has been applied in testing program by both ways statically and dynamically. Object Oriented

B McArdell, M Swarz, P Bartelt ,geoscience-meeting.scnatweb.ch Observations of debris flows using video recordings from the Illgraben station (near Susten/Leuk, VS) show that the largest particles within a debris flow often travel more slowly than the surrounding debris flow material, especially upstream of the front of a surge.
