Software testing is normally used to check the validity of a program. Test oracle performs an important role in software testing. The focus in this research is to perform class level test by introducing a testing framework. A technique is developed to generate test oracle for specification-based software testing using Vienna Development Method (VDM++) formal language. A three stage translation process, of VDM++ specifications of container classes to C++ test oracle classes, is described in this paper. It is also presented that how derived test oracle is integrated into a proposed functional testing framework. This technique caters object oriented features such as inheritance and aggregation, but concurrency is not considered in this work. Translation issues, limitations and evaluation of the technique are also discussed. The proposed approach is illustrated with the help of popular triangle problem case study.

Component selection is considered one of hard tasks in Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE). It is difficult to find the optimal component selection. CBSE is an approach that is used to develop a software system from pre-existing software comp
onents. Appropriate software component selection plays an important role in CBSE. Many approaches were suggested to solve component selection problem. In this paper the component selection is done by improving the integrated component selection framework by including the pliability metric. Pliability is a flexible measure that assesses software quality in terms of its components quality. The validation of this proposed solution is done through collecting a sample of people who answer an electronic questionnaire that composed of 20 questions. The questionnaire is distributed through social sites such as Twitter, Facebook and emails. The result of the validation showed that using the integrated component selection framework with pliability metric is suitable for component selection.
Software process improvement (SPI) is a means to an end, not an end in itself (e.g., a goal is to achieve shorter time to market and not just compliance to a process standard). Therefore, SPI initiatives ought to be streamlined to meet the desired va
lues for an organization. Through a literature review, seven secondary studies aggregating maturity models and assessment frameworks were identified. Furthermore, we identified six proposals for building a new maturity model. We analyzed the existing maturity models for (a) their purpose, structure, guidelines, and (b) the degree to which they explicitly consider values and benefits. Based on this analysis and utilizing the guidelines from the proposals to build maturity models, we have introduced an approach for developing a value-driven approach for SPI. The proposal leveraged the benefits-dependency networks. We argue that our approach enables the following key benefits: (a) as a value-driven approach, it streamlines value-delivery and helps to avoid unnecessary process interventions, (b) as a knowledge-repository, it helps to codify lessons learned i.e. whether adopted practices lead to value realization, and (c) as an internal process maturity assessment tool, it tracks the progress of process realization, which is necessary to monitor progress towards the intended values.
This note concerns a search for publications in which the pragmatic concept of a test as conducted in the practice of software testing is formalized, a theory about software testing based on such a formalization is presented or it is demonstrated on
the basis of such a theory that there are solid grounds to test software in cases where in principle other forms of analysis could be used. This note reports on the way in which the search has been carried out and the main outcomes of the search. The message of the note is that the fundamentals of software testing are not yet complete in some respects.
Nowadays, software artifacts are ubiquitous in our lives being an essential part of home appliances, cars, cell phones, and even in more critical activities like aeronautics and health sciences. In this context software failures may produce enormous
losses, either economical or, in the worst case, in human lives. Software analysis is an area in software engineering concerned with the application of diverse techniques in order to prove the absence of errors in software pieces. In many cases different analysis techniques are applied by following specific methodological combinations that ensure better results. These interactions between tools are usually carried out at the user level and it is not supported by the tools. In this work we present HeteroGenius, a framework conceived to develop tools that allow users to perform hybrid analysis of heterogeneous software specifications. HeteroGenius was designed prioritising the possibility of adding new specification languages and analysis tools and enabling a synergic relation of the techniques under a graphical interface satisfying several well-known usability enhancement criteria. As a case-study we implemented the functionality of Dynamite on top of HeteroGenius.
Context: Software testing plays an essential role in product quality improvement. For this reason, several software testing models have been developed to support organizations. However, adoption of testing process models inside organizations is still
sporadic, with a need for more evidence about reported experiences. Aim: Our goal is to identify results gathered from the application of software testing models in organizational contexts. We focus on characteristics such as the context of use, practices applied in different testing process phases, and reported benefits & drawbacks. Method: We performed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) focused on studies about the application of software testing processes, complemented by results from previous reviews. Results: From 35 primary studies and survey-based articles, we collected 17 testing models. Although most of the existing models are described as applicable to general contexts, the evidence obtained from the studies shows that some models are not suitable for all enterprise sizes, and inadequate for specific domains. Conclusion: The SLR evidence can serve to compare different software testing models for applicability inside organizations. Both benefits and drawbacks, as reported in the surveyed cases, allow getting a better view of the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
