...intentions of the designer, as described (often only minimally) in design and specification documents, and the behaviour of the delivered system, as realized in the code. We are developing new languages, tools and methods to address this problem. Our work also incorporates independent analyses of designs and code. By applying our design analyses, we can be sure that the design as described has the intended consequences the designer had in mind. By applying our code analyses, we can eliminate flaws that do not depend on comparison to a design, and can discover properties that can be later fed into a conformance analysis. Rather than pursuing a single, narrow research approach, we have tried to explore the problem from many angles. We consider how a codebase may be analyzed in the presence of some design models; how it might be analyzed if there is no explicit design documentation; and how minimal design properties expressed as code annotations might be exploited. We have developed static analyses that require no execution of the code but can simulate the effect of all possible executions, and dynamic analyses that require a test suite but can produce more accurate results. Some of our static analyses are conservative, and can guarantee properties of all executions; others are sound in their error reports, so that no false alarms are given. Some of our tools exploit test cases; others generate test cases automatically. Despite the breadth of our approaches, all our work satisfies some...

...Writing effective test cases is a skill and that can be achieved by some experience and in-depth study of the application on which test cases are being written. Here I will share some tips on how to write test cases, test case procedures and some basic test case definitions. What is a test case? “A test case has components that describes an input, action or event and an expected response, to determine if a feature of an application is working correctly.” Definition by Glossary There are levels in which each test case will fall in order to avoid duplication efforts. Level 1: In this level you will write the basic test cases from the available specification and user documentation. Level 2: This is the practical stage in which writing test cases depend on actual functional and system flow of the application. Level 3: This is the stage in which you will group some test cases and write a test procedure. Test procedure is nothing but a group of small test cases maximum of 10. Level 4: Automation of the project. This will minimize human interaction with system and thus QA can focus on current updated functionalities to test rather than remaining busy with regression testing. So you can observe a systematic growth from no testable item to a Automation suit. Why we write test cases? The basic objective of writing test cases is to validate the testing coverage of the application. If you are working in any CMMi company then you will strictly follow test cases standards. So...

...used to support verification and data collection scripts. The scripts control various test equipments in addition to the device under test (DUT) to characterize a specific performance with a specific configuration or to evaluate the correctness of the behaviour of the DUT. The specific focus on this paper is on documenting our experiences in building an automation framework using Python: on the purposes, goals and the benefits, rather than on a tutorial of how to build such a framework. 1. Introduction I work in a growing IC design company that focuses on wireless solutions. The project described in this paper was developed when we were developing the fifth generation of our product. We were facing huge challenges for this project: our product's feature sets have grown so much that manual verification of the features require more than 2 months (and this would involve most of the engineering team doing manual tests). Recent economic situation prohibited any further investment, both for manpowers and tools. However, the project needs to be completed on time, or we would risked losing a significant potential business. We basically faces a risk of taping out our Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) with potential major defects due to untested features1. Understanding this risk, we did an evaluation on how much can we gain by automating a number of crucial test cases. It was obvious that the benefits were significant: we would have 16 more hours each...

...Business Ethics Case Study Peter Paulson's offer to provide the previous case documents to Steven Craig is professionally unethical but morally permissible. In addition, I believe that the offer was not theft but possession by entitlement and permission. His actions are a great example of how professional ethics and morals don't always align in the analysis of a case. Part (1) Peter Paulson's offer although helpful commits the Texas Board of Professional Engineers code. As an expert witness for a previous case against PPC, Peter Paulson was exposed to certain documents which would help with the current case against the same company. The code states in 137.63.c.4 that "The engineer shall not give, offer or promise to pay or deliver, directly or indirectly, any commission, gift, favor, gratuity, benefit, or reward as an inducement to secure any specific engineering work or assignment." In Peter's case he was asked to "secure specific engineering work" for a fee. The practice of sharing the public documents is legal and professionally ethical but when a fee is procured for the transaction the act becomes unethical. The documents in both cases were public because they were documents of court which could be obtained by any lawyer. When Peter placed a fee on documents that were public his actions were in violation of the code and made his offer professionally unethical. Part (II) Table 1.

...preliminary design work is reduced to solving the simple tasks that have already been identified. The developers communicate directly with customers and other developers to understand the initial requirements. They start with a very simple task and then get feedback by testing their software as soon as it is developed. The system is delivered to the customers as soon as possible, and the requirements are refined or added based on customer feedback. In this way, requirements evolve over a period of time, and developers are able to respond quickly to changes. The real design effort occurs when the developers write the code to fulfill the specific engineering task. The engineering task is a part of a greater user story (which is similar to a use case). The user story concerns itself with how the overall system solves a particular problem. It represents a part of the functionality of the overall system. A group of user stories is capable of describing the system as a whole. The developers refactor the previous code iteration to establish the design needed to implement the functionality. During the Extreme Programming development life cycle, developers usually work in pairs. One developer writes the code for a particular feature, and the second developer reviews the code to ensure that it uses simple solutions and adheres to best design...

...Software Testing Types: Black box testing – Internal system design is not considered in this type of testing. Tests are based on requirements and functionality. White box testing – This testing is based on knowledge of the internal logic of an application’s code. Also known as Glass box Testing. Internal software and code working should be known for this type of testing. Tests are based on coverage of code statements, branches, paths, conditions. Unit testing – Testing of individual software components or modules. Typically done by the programmer and not by testers, as it requires detailed knowledge of the internal program design and code. may require developing test driver modules or test harnesses. Incremental integration testing – Bottom up approach for testing i.e continuous testing of an application as new functionality is added; Application functionality and modules should be independent enough to test separately. done by programmers or by testers. Integration testing – Testing of integrated modules to verify combined functionality after integration. Modules are typically code modules, individual applications, client and server applications on a network, etc. This type of testing is especially relevant to client/server and distributed systems. Functional testing – This type of testing ignores the internal parts and focus on the output is as per requirement or not. Black-box type testing geared to functional requirements of an application.
