Metamorphic Testing of Transpilers via Mutation Consistency of Programs
Enea Raffaele Ilario Papaleo, Luca Guglielmo, Giovanni Denaro
Transpilers are increasingly used for software development, especially in industrial domains that rely on domain-specific languages (DSLs), to allow engineers to work with familiar…
Combined Program Analysis Techniques: A Systematic Mapping Study
Pietro Braione, Giovanni Denaro, Luca Gugliemo +3
Context. Since the eighties, the combination of program analysis techniques has been increasingly recognized as a promising approach to overcome the limitations of standalone metho…
Automated Test Generation from Program Documentation Encoded in Code Comments
Giovanni Denaro, Luca Guglielmo
Documenting the functionality of software units with code comments, e.g., Javadoc comments, is a common programmer best-practice in software engineering. This paper introduces a no…
Path-optimal symbolic execution of heap-manipulating programs
Pietro Braione, Giovanni Denaro, Luca Guglielmo
Symbolic execution is at the core of many techniques for program analysis and test generation. Traditional symbolic execution of programs with numeric inputs enjoys the property of…
Measuring Software Testability via Automatically Generated Test Cases
Luca Guglielmo, Leonardo Mariani, Giovanni Denaro
Estimating software testability can crucially assist software managers to optimize test budgets and software quality. In this paper, we propose a new approach that radically differ…
Automatically Generating Test Cases for Safety-Critical Software via Symbolic Execution
Elson Kurian, Daniela Briola, Pietro Braione +1
Automated test generation based on symbolic execution can be beneficial for systematically testing safety-critical software, to facilitate test engineers to pursue the strict testi…
