The quality of the specifications used for test generation plays an important role in the quality
of the generated tests. One approach to improve the quality of the UML specification is the …

Reducing software carbon footprint could contribute to efforts to avert climate change. Past
research indicates that developers lack knowledge on energy consumption and carbon …

A test suite is a set of test cases that evaluate the quality of software. The aim of whole test
suite generation is to create test cases with the highest coverage scores possible. This study …

Automated test generators, such as search based software testing (SBST) techniques,
replace the tedious and expensive task of manually writing test cases. SBST techniques are …

An important benchmark for test generation tools is their ability to detect real faults. We have
identified 16 real faults in Gson—a Java library for manipulating JSON data—and added …

The constant improvement of the available computing power nowadays enables the
accomplishment of more and more complex tasks. The resulting implicit increase in the …

Modern sensors deployed in most Industry 4.0 applications are intelligent, meaning that they
present sophisticated behavior, usually due to embedded software, and network connectivity …

Testing costs can be reduced through automated unit test generation. An important
benchmark for such tools is their ability to detect real faults. Fault databases, such as …

State-of-the-art search-based approaches for test case generation work at test case level,
where tests are represented as sequences of statements. These approaches make use of …

Code coverage serves as a crucial metric to assess testing effectiveness, measuring the
degree to which a test suite exercises different facets of the code, such as statements …
