Exploring Emotional Intelligence in Software Testing
Cristina Martinez Montes, Pushpamalar Rajendran, Grace Karuri +1
Background: Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage one's own and others' emotions. Software testers deliver judgements about colleagues' wo…
Adaptive Strategy Generation for Boundary Value Exploration Beyond Numeric Inputs
Sabinakhon Akbarova, Felix Dobslaw, Robert Feldt
Software behavior often changes abruptly at boundaries between input regions, and these transitions are known to be fault-prone. Boundary Value Exploration (BVE) automates boundary…
Understanding on the Edge: LLM-generated Boundary Test Explanations
Sabinakhon Akbarova, Felix Dobslaw, Robert Feldt
Boundary value analysis and testing (BVT) is fundamental in software quality assurance because faults tend to cluster at input extremes, yet testers often struggle to understand an…
SETBVE: Quality-Diversity Driven Exploration of Software Boundary Behaviors
Sabinakhon Akbarova, Felix Dobslaw, Francisco Gomes de Oliveira Neto +1
Software systems exhibit distinct behaviors based on input characteristics, and failures often occur at the boundaries between input domains. Traditional Boundary Value Analysis (B…
Automatic techniques for issue report classification: A systematic mapping study
Muhammad Laiq, Felix Dobslaw
Several studies have evaluated automatic techniques for classifying software issue reports to assist practitioners in effectively assigning relevant resources based on the type of…
Challenges in Testing Large Language Model Based Software: A Faceted Taxonomy
Felix Dobslaw, Robert Feldt, Juyeon Yoon +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multi-Agent LLMs (MALLMs) introduce non-determinism unlike traditional or machine learning software, requiring new approaches to verifying correctn…
Building Collaborative Learning: Exploring Social Annotation in Introductory Programming
Francisco Gomes de Oliveira Neto, Felix Dobslaw
The increasing demand for software engineering education presents learning challenges in courses due to the diverse range of topics that require practical applications, such as pro…
Experiences with Remote Examination Formats in Light of GPT-4
Felix Dobslaw, Peter Bergh
Sudden access to the rapidly improving large language model GPT by open-ai forces educational institutions worldwide to revisit their exam procedures. In the pre-GPT era, we succes…
The Gap between Higher Education and the Software Industry -- A Case Study on Technology Differences
Felix Dobslaw, Kristian Angelin, Lena-Maria Öberg +1
We see an explosive global labour demand in the Software Industry, and higher education institutions play a crucial role in supplying the industry with professionals with relevant…
Automated Black-Box Boundary Value Detection
Felix Dobslaw, Robert Feldt, Francisco de Oliveira Neto
The input domain of software systems can typically be divided into sub-domains for which the outputs are similar. To ensure high quality it is critical to test the software on the…
On the Importance and Shortcomings of Code Readability Metrics: A Case Study on Reactive Programming
Gustaf Holst, Felix Dobslaw
Well structured and readable source code is a pre-requisite for maintainable software and successful collaboration among developers. Static analysis enables the automated extractio…
Using mutation testing to measure behavioural test diversity
Francisco Gomes de Oliveira Neto, Felix Dobslaw, Robert Feldt
Diversity has been proposed as a key criterion to improve testing effectiveness and efficiency.It can be used to optimise large test repositories but also to visualise test mainten…
Boundary Value Exploration for Software Analysis
Felix Dobslaw, Francisco Gomes de Oliveira Neto, Robert Feldt
For software to be reliable and resilient, it is widely accepted that tests must be created and maintained alongside the software itself. One safeguard from vulnerabilities and fai…
Estimating Return on Investment for GUI Test Automation Tools
Felix Dobslaw, Robert Feldt, David Michaelsson +3
Automated graphical user interface (GUI) tests can reduce manual testing activities and increase test frequency. This motivates the conversion of manual test cases into automated G…
Towards Automated Boundary Value Testing with Program Derivatives and Search
Robert Feldt, Felix Dobslaw
A natural and often used strategy when testing software is to use input values at boundaries, i.e. where behavior is expected to change the most, an approach often called boundary…
End-to-End Reliability-aware Scheduling for Wireless Sensor Networks
Felix Dobslaw, Tingting Zhang, Mikael Gidlund
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are gaining popularity as a flexible and economical alternative to field-bus installations for monitoring and control applications. For mission-criti…
