Context Context-awareness challenges the engineering of contemporary software systems
and jeopardizes their testing. The variation of context represents a relevant behavior that …

Adaptive systems (ASs) and context‐aware systems (CASs) are able to evaluate their own
behaviour and to adapt it when the system fails to accomplish its goals or when better …

This article addresses the need of applying testing activities with the purpose of checking the
consistency and the correctness of distributed and dynamically adaptable systems whose …

We are increasingly surrounded by systems connecting us with the digital world and
facilitating our life by supporting our work, leisure, activities at home, health, and so on …

Testing in the field is gaining momentum, as a means to detect those failures that escape in-
house testing by continuing the testing even while a system is operating in production …

This paper discusses the problem of testing the performance of the adaptation layer in a self-
adaptive system. The problem is notoriously hard, due to the high degree of uncertainty and …

Abstract Context: A Dynamically Adaptive System (DAS) supports runtime adaptations to
handle changes in the operational environment. These adaptations can change the system's …

This paper discusses methods to test the performance of the adaptation layer in a self-
adaptive system. The problem is notoriously hard, due to the high degree of uncertainty and …

Self-adaptive Systems (SaSs) operate under uncertainty conditions and have intrinsic
properties that make their modeling a non-trivial activity. This complexity can be minimized …

Modern software-intensive and pervasive systems need to be able to manage different
requirements of variability, adaptation and evolution. The latter are surely related properties …
