A test oracle determines whether a test execution reveals a fault, often by comparing the
observed program output to the expected output. This is not always practical, for example …

Random testing (RT) is a well-studied testing method that has been widely applied to the
testing of many applications, including embedded software systems, SQL database systems …

Adaptive Random Testing (ART) has been proposed as an enhancement to random testing,
based on assumptions on how failing test cases are distributed in the input domain. The …

Time and resource constraints should be taken into account in software testing activities,
and thus optimizing the test suite is fundamental in the development process. In this context …

Hospital Patient Scheduling is an inherently distributed problem because of the way real
hospitals are organized. As medical procedures have become more complex, and their …

Regression testing activities greatly reduce the risk of faulty software release. However, the
size of the test suites grows throughout the development process, resulting in time …

Test case prioritization assigns the execution priorities of the test cases in a given test suite.
Many existing test case prioritization techniques assume the full-fledged availability of code …

CONTEXT: Effective test case prioritization shortens the time to detect failures, and yet the
use of fewer test cases may compromise the effectiveness of subsequent fault localization …

Metamorphic testing (MT) is a property-based automated software testing method. It
alleviates the oracle problem by testing programs against metamorphic relations (MRs) …

In automatic software fault localization techniques, both the coverage and the testing
outcomes of the provided test suite are considered to be essential information. The problem …
