모바일 소프트웨어의 생산성을 높이고 신뢰성 있는 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위한 모바일 소프트웨어 테스트의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 모바일 소프트웨어의 테스팅 기술이 효율적으로 적용되기 위해서는 모바일 플랫폼 기반의 테스트를 자동화 할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 즉, 모바일 플랫폼에서 제공하는API를 테스트 하기 위한 테스트케이스를 생성할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 테스트케이스를 생성하게 되면 소프트웨어의 생산성과 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 테스트 기간 및 비용을 줄일 수 있다는 이점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 테스트 자동화에 관련된 연구와 테스트 자동화 도구에 대한 연구를 통해 테스트케이스 생성 범위를 설정하고, J2ME 플랫폼에 사용될 수 있는 테스트케이스 생성 기법인 키워드 방식 기법(Keyword Driven Method)을 제시하였으며, 제안한 생성 기법을 적용하여 J2ME 플랫폼 기반의 테스트에 활용 가능한 테스트케이스 생성 기법이 되도록 하였다.

용접부 및 구조물에 발생된 결함의 깊이를 정밀하게 측정하기 위한 노력은 현재까지 계속되어 왔으며 앞으로도 계속되어야 할 연구분야중의 하나이다. TOFD 검사기법은 현재까지 결함의 깊이를 측정하기 위한 여러 가지 검사 방법중에 가장 정밀한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 사용하는 초음파 굴절각에 따른 빔의 도달범위에 의하여 결함을 놓칠 우려가 있다. 본 여구에서는 일반적인 TOFD 기법대신 위상배열 초음파 기법을 이용한 TOFD 검사를 적용하여 두께가 두꺼운 검사대상에 대하여 결함의 검출능 및 깊이 측정결과를 비교하였다. 위상배열 초음파를 이용한 TOFD 검사를 사용함으로써 다양한 결함에 대하여 검출능 및 정확한 깊이 측정이 가능함을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 위상배열 TOFD 기법은 발전설비의 압력용기와 같은 두꺼운 검사대상에 적용될 경우 검사 신뢰도 향상에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper proposes a noncontact thermography technique for fatigue crack evaluation under a cyclic tensile loading. The proposed technique identifies and localizes an invisible fatigue crack without scanning, thus making it possible to instantaneously evaluate an incipient fatigue crack. Based on a thermoelastic theory, a new fatigue crack evaluation algorithm is proposed for the fatigue crack-tip localization. The performance of the proposed algorithm is experimentally validated. To achieve this, the cyclic tensile loading is applied to a dog-bone shape aluminum specimen using a universal testing machine, and the corresponding thermal responses induced by thermoelastic effects are captured by an infrared camera. The test results confirm that the fatigue crack is well identified and localized by comparing with its microscopic images.

Many technical methods are used for nondestructive testing field for solid materials. Among those, ultrasonic inspection methods are widely used and one of the popular methods involves the extraction of an appropriate set of features followed by the use of a neural network for the classification of the signals in the feature space. This paper describes an approach which uses LMS method to determine the coordinates of the ultrasonic probe followed by the use of SAFT with centroid technique to estimate the location of the ultrasonic reflector. The method is employed for classifying UT-NDE signals from the steam generator tubes in a nuclear power plant. The classification results are presented for the ultrasonic signals from cracks and deposits within steam generator tubes.

A new method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of vitro-cultured bacteria on an ordinary fluorescence spectrometer was developed. The viable bacteria reduced 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to produce insoluble particles that displayed intense resonance scattering light. The assay showed a linear relationship between the number of viable bacteria and the intensity of resonance scattering light. Dead bacteria were unable to reduce MTT. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus exposed to flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta showed a flavonoids concentration-dependent inhibition of the ability to reduce MTT. In the assay, less than 12 h was required to attain susceptibility results and fewer bacteria were utilized than in traditional methods. The RLS technique could, in combination with the MTT assay, be a rapid and sensitive measuring method to determine the in vitro activity of new antimicrobials.

It is well known that when there is an acoustic mismatch between the speech obtained during training and testing, the accuracy of speaker verification systems drastically deteriorates. This paper presents the use of MFCCs' histogram enhancement technique in order to improve the robustness of a speaker verification system. The technique transforms the features extracted from speech within an utterance such that their statistics conform to reference distributions. The reference distributions proposed in this paper are uniform distribution and beta distribution. The transformation modifies the contrast of MFCCs' histogram so that the performance of a speaker verification system is improved both in the clean training and testing environment and in the clean training and noisy testing environment.

This paper proposes a memory testable code called MTA(Memory TestAble) code which is based on error correcting code technique for testing functional faults in semiconductor memories. The characteristics of this code are analyzed and compared with those of conventional codes. The developed decoding technique for this code can reduce the decoder circuits up to 70% and obtain two-times faster decoding speed than other codes such as hamming code or Hsiao code. The MTA code is eccectively applicable to parallel testing of semiconductor memories because it has the same information length and parity length. It can detect from single error functional faults to triple error in semiconductor memories.

This paper presents testing and self-calibration of RF circuits using MEMS switches to identify process-related defects and out of specification circuits. We have developed a novel multi-tone dither test technique where the test stimulus is generated by modulating the RF carrier signal with a multi-tone signal generated using an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) with additive white Gaussian noise. This test stimulus is provided as input to the RF circuit and peak-to-average ratio (PAR) is measured at the output. For a faulty circuit, a significant difference is observed in the value of PAR as compared to a fault-free circuit. Simulation is performed for various circuit conditions such as fault-free as well as fault-induced and their corresponding PARs are stored in the look-up table. This testing and self-calibration technique is exhaustive and efficient for present-day communication systems.

In this paper, a simple technique is presented for robust stability testing of perturbed DC-DC converters having multi-linear uncertainty structure. This technique provides a necessary and sufficient condition for testing robust stability. It is based on the corollary of Routh criterion and gridding of parameters. The previous work based on parametric control theory using Kharitonov's theorem and Hermite Biehler theorem gives conservative results and only the sufficient condition of stability, whereas the proposed method provides the necessary and sufficient condition for testing robust stability and it is computationally efficient. The superiority of the method is compared with the Edge theorem.
