Most of the existing studies on functional safety testing for the railway signaling system software have focused on verifying the functional safety through the monitoring of internal memory embedded railway signaling system. However, the railway signaling system is one of the typical embedded control system in the railway sector, and the embedded software has a characteristic of generating an appropriate outputs through the combination of internal processing in consideration of the current internal status and external input. Therefore, the test approach of using the interface communication channel can be effective way for the functional testing for railway signaling system software in consideration of these characteristic. Since a communication interface specification of the railway signal system has a the properties of the sequence input and output signals, test-case for software testing is the most effective methodology by MSC (Message Sequence Chart) language, one of the graphic language. The MSC-based test-case generating methodology for signaling system software was proposed in this paper.

The effectiveness of testing in Model-based Testing (MBT) for Software Product Line (SPL) can be achieved by considering fault detection in test case. The lack of fault consideration caused test case in test suite to be listed randomly. Test Case Prioritization (TCP) is one of regression techniques that is adaptively capable to detect faults as early as possible by reordering test cases based on fault detection rate. However, there is a lack of studies that measured faults in MBT for SPL. This paper proposes a Test Case Prioritization (TCP) approach based on dissimilarity and string based distance called Last Minimal for Local Maximal Distance (LM-LMD) with Dice-Jaro-Winkler Dissimilarity. LM-LMD with Dice-Jaro-Winkler Dissimilarity adopts Local Maximum Distance as the prioritization algorithm and Dice-Jaro-Winkler similarity measure to evaluate distance among test cases. This work is based on the test case generated from statechart in Software Product Line (SPL) domain context. Our results are promising as LM-LMD with Dice-Jaro-Winkler Dissimilarity outperformed the original Local Maximum Distance, Global Maximum Distance and Enhanced All-yes Configuration algorithm in terms of Average Fault Detection Rate (APFD) and average prioritization time.

Context: Testing is one of the techniques that can assure the quality of software including the domain of Software Product Line (SPL). Various techniques have been deliberated to enhance the quality of SPL including Model-based Testing (MBT). Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze and classify trends of MBT in SPL covering the solutions, issues and evaluation aspects by using taxonomy form. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted involving 63 primary studies from different sources. The selected studies were categorized based on their common characteristics. Results: Several findings can guide future research on MBT for SPL. The important finding is that the multiple measurements are still open to improving current metrics to evaluate test cases in MBT for SPL. The multiple types of measurement required a trade-off between maximization and minimization results to ensure the testing method which could satisfy multiple test criteria for example cost and effectiveness at the same time.

This paper is concerned with forecasting the existing number of errors in the computer software and optimizing the stopping time of the software test based upon the forecasted number of errors. The most commonly used models have assessed software reliability under the assumption that the software failure late is proportional to the current fault content of the software but invariant to time since software faults are independents of others and equally likely to cause a failure during testing. In practice, it has been observed that in many situations, the failure rate decrease. Hence, this paper proposes a mathematical model to describe testing situations where the failure rate of software limearly decreases proportional to testing time. The least square method is used to estimate parameters of the mathematical model. A cost model to optimize the software testing time is also proposed. In this cost mode two cost factors are considered. The first cost is to test execution cost directly proportional to test time and the second cost is the failure cost incurred after delivery of the software to user. The failure cost is assumed to be proportional to the number of errors remained in the software at the test stopping time. The optimal stopping time is determined to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of test execution cast and the failure cost. A numerical example is solved to illustrate the proposed procedure.

본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 시험 단계중에 발생되는 시험노력 소요량을 고려한 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델을 제시하여 시간종속적인 시험 노력소요량 동태를 웨이블 곡선으로 설명한다. 시험 단계중에 소요되는 시험노력의 양에 대한 결함 검출비를 현재의 결함 내용에 비례하는 것으로 가정하여 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델을 비동차 포아송 프로세스(NHPP)로 공식화하되, 이 모델을 이용하여 소프트웨어 신뢰도 척도에 대한 데이터 분석기법을 개발한다. 시험 시간의 경과와 신뢰도와의 관계, 시험비용과 신뢰도와의 관계를 연구한다. 소프트웨어의 비용을 고찰함에 있어서 조건별로 검토하여 비용이 최소로 되는 발행시각을 결정하되, 목표신뢰도를 만족시키는 최적발행시각을 정한다. 비용의 입장에서 발행 시각을 결정하는 문제와 신뢰도의 입장에서 발행 시각을 결정하는 문제를 동시에 고려하여 최적 발행시각을 결정하도록 한다.

It is very important to assure the software quality. The static and dynamic testing are to be performed on the program to find some error in it, and it's purposes are to assure the software quality with cost-effectiveness. For it we use the automated tool. In this paper, it suggest the design of the software tool for COBOL static testing.

구성가능한 소프트웨어 제품라인 시험은 모든 멤버제품들에 포함되는 공통 부분과 일부 또는 단일 제품에 포함되는 가변 부분을 고려해야 하기 때문에 단일 제품 시험 방법들을 그대로 적용하기 어렵다. 소프트웨어 시스템 시험에서 시험 커버리지는 수행된 시험의 적절성을 측정하는 척도이다. 구성가능한 소프트웨어 제품라인으로부터 생성될 수 있는 멤버제품들은 수백 개에 이를 수 있기 때문에 시험 커버리지 측정은 소프트웨어 제품라인 수준에서 시험의 적절성을 평가하기 위해 중요하다. 이 논문은 구성가능한 소프트웨어 제품라인 시험에서 제품라인 수준의 코드 커버리지 측정 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 피처 집합의 포함 관계를 기준으로 제품들을 계층화한 후 제품라인의 멤버제품들을 시험하고, 시험으로부터 얻어진 각 제품의 시험 커버리지들을 종합하여 SPL 시험 커버리지를 정량화한다. 제안한 방법을 11개의 구성가능한 소프트웨어 제품라인 사례에 적용하여 검증한 결과, 제안한 방법은 SPL 시험이 얼마나 철저하게 수행되었는지를 정량적으로 기술하여 SPL 시험의 적정성을 확인할 수 있도록 도왔다. 또한, 새로 추가된 SPL 멤버제품의 시험이 이전 멤버제품 시험 대비 커버리지를 증가시키는 방향인지 확인할 수 있어 새로운 시험케이스들이 멤버제품들 간의 차이를 커버하는 방향으로 시험이 이루어지고 있는지 확인할 수 있었다.

As we know every software development process is pretty large and consists of different modules. This raises the idea of prioritizing different software modules so that important modules can be tested by preference. In the software testing process, it is not possible to test each and every module regressively, which is due to time and cost constraints. To deal with these constraints, this paper proposes an approach that is based on the fuzzy multi-criteria approach for prioritizing several software modules and calculates optimal time and cost for software testing by using fuzzy logic and the fault tolerance approach.

Various artifacts that are produced as software R&D project progresses contain research plan, research report, software requirements and design descriptions, etc. When conducting a software R&D project, it is necessary to confirm that the developed system has implemented its research requirements well. However, various research results make it difficult to design appropriate tests. So, there is a practical need for us to comprehensively handle the planning, execution, and reporting of software test for finding and verifying information related to the research. In this paper, we propose a useful method for software test process in R&D project which supports model based software testing. The proposed method supports automation of test design and generation of test data by explicitly separating each step of System Under Test (SUT). The method utilizes the various models representing the control flow of the function to extract the information necessary for testing the system. And it supports a systematic testing process based on TMMi and ISO 29119. Finally, we show the validity of the method by implementing a prototype with basic functionality to generate test data from software behavioral models.

아직까지 소프트웨어 개발조직에서는 사전검증 활동 및 충분한 테스트 설계가 수행되지 않고 있으며, 따라서 개발 초기에 식별, 수정될 수 있는 결함들까지 테스트시 검출되기 때문에 투입 노력 대비 테스트의 효율성은 떨어진다. 이러한 문제의식을 바탕으로 본 논문은 구현이전단계에서의 사전검증이 수행 되지 않고, 테스트 케이스 설계가 충분히 진행되지 않은 경우에 테스트의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 실사례를 통해 제안하고 있다. 테스트 단계에서의 코드 리뷰와 코드 품질 분석을 통해 테스트 우선순위 선정, 테스트별 테스트 케이스 설계 등의 주요 활동과 테스트팀과 개발팀과의 역할을 구체적으로 제시한다.
