Software Development Life Cycle

Measurement in software is a basic process in all parts of the software development life cycle because it helps to express the quality of a software. But in software engineering, measurement is difficult and not precise. However, researchers accept that any measure is better than zero measure. In this chapter, the software metrics are explained, and some software testing tools are introduced. The software metric sets of Chidamber and Kemerer Metric Set (CK Metric Set), MOOD Metric Set (Brito e Abreu Metric Set), QMOOD Metric Set (Bansiya and Davis Software Metric Set), Rosenberg and Hyatt Metric Set, Lorenz and Kidd Metric Set (L&K Metric Set) are explained. The software testing tools such as Understand, Sonargraph, Findbugs, Metrics, PMD, Coverlipse, Checkstyle, SDMetrics, and Coverity are introduced. Also, 17 literature studies are summarized.

Software Development Life Cycle

Software testing is the process of running an application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects). Software applications demand has pushed the quality assurance of developed software towards new heights. It has been considered as the most critical stage of the software development life cycle. Testing can analyze the software item to identify the disparity between actual and prescribed conditions and to assess the characteristics of the software. Software testing leads to minimizing errors and cut down software costs. For this purpose, we discuss various software testing techniques and strategies. This paper aims to study diverse as well as improved software testing techniques for better quality assurance purposes.

Software reusability encourages developers to heavily rely on a variety of third-party libraries and packages, resulting in dependent software products. Often ignored by developers due to the risk of breakage but dependent software have to adopt security and performance updates in their external dependencies. Existing work advocates a shift towards Automatic updation of dependent software code to implement update dependencies. Emerging automatic dependency management tools notify the availability of new updates, detect their impacts on dependent software and identify potential breakages or other vulnerabilities. However, support for automatic source code refactoring to fix potential breaking changes (to the best of my current knowledge) is missing from these tools. This paper presents a prototyping tool, DepRefactor, that assist in the programmed refactoring of software code caused by automatic updating of their dependencies. To measure the accuracy and effectiveness of DepRefactor, we test it on various students project developed in C#.

Due to the increasingly important role of software testing in software quality assurance, during the last several years, the utilization of automated testing tools, and particularly those belonging to the xUnit family, has proven to be invaluable. However, as the number of resources available continues increasing, the complexity derived from the selection and integration of the most relevant software testing principles, techniques and tools into an adequate learning environment for training computer science students in software testing, increases too. In this chapter we introduce a experience of teaching Software Testing for a senior-level course. In the elaboration of the course a wide variety of testing techniques, methodologies and tools have been selected and seamlessly integrated. An evaluation of students performance during the three academic years that the course has been held show that students’ attitudes changed with a high or at least a positive statistical significance.

Software testing is a very labor intensive and costly task. Therefore, many software testing techniques to automate the process of software testing have been reported in the literature. Assertion-Based automated software testing has been shown to be effective in detecting program faults as compared to traditional black-box and white-box software testing methods. However, the applicability of this approach in the presence of large numbers of assertions may be very costly. Therefore, software developers need assistance while making decision to apply Assertion-Based testing in order for them to get the benefits of this approach at an acceptable level of costs. In this paper, we present an Assertion-Based testing metrics technique that is based on fuzzy logic. The main goal of the proposed technique is to enhance the performance of Assertion-Based software testing in the presence of large numbers of assertions. To evaluate the proposed technique, an experimental study was performed in which the proposed technique is applied on programs with assertions. The result of this experiment shows that the effectiveness and performance of Assertion-Based software testing have improved when applying the proposed testing metrics technique.

Software testing is one of the most important phases in software development lifecycle (SDLC). Software testing is the process of evaluating the software product with the intent to find whether it satisfies the user requirements or not. It involves identifying bug, error, or defect in a software product without correcting it. There are various automated tools, which help as to test the software products with accuracy. This paper analyses some of the test management, functional and load testing tools.

Testing Coverage

Testing is broadly classified into three levels: Unit Testing, Addition Testing, and System Testing. Whenever we think of developing any software we always concentrate on making the software bug free and most reliable. At this point of time Testing is used to make the software a bug free. Software Testing has been measured as the most important stage of the software development life cycle. Around 60% of resources and money are cast-off for the testing of software. Testing can be manual or automated. Software testing is an activity that emphases at assessing the competence of a program and commands that it truly meets the excellence results. There are many test cases that help in detecting the bugs so, in this paper we describe about the most commonly used test cases and testing techniques for the error detection.
