Systemic Flakiness: An Empirical Analysis of Co-Occurring Flaky Test Failures
Owain Parry, Gregory Kapfhammer, Michael Hilton +1
Flaky tests produce inconsistent outcomes without code changes, creating major challenges for software developers. An industrial case study reported that developers spend 1.28% of…
QAOA-PCA: Enhancing Efficiency in the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm via Principal Component Analysis
Owain Parry, Phil McMinn
The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a promising variational algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems on near-term devices. However, as the num…
Empirically Evaluating the Use of Bytecode for Diversity-Based Test Case Prioritisation
Islam T. Elgendy, Robert M. Hierons, Phil McMinn
Regression testing assures software correctness after changes but is resource-intensive. Test Case Prioritisation (TCP) mitigates this by ordering tests to maximise early fault det…
Improving the Reliability of Quantum Circuits by Evolving Heterogeneous Ensembles
Owain Parry, John Clark, Phil McMinn
Quantum computers can perform certain operations exponentially faster than classical computers, but designing quantum circuits is challenging. To that end, researchers used evoluti…
A Survey of the Metrics, Uses, and Subjects of Diversity-Based Techniques in Software Testing
Islam T. Elgendy, Robert M. Hierons, Phil McMinn
There has been a significant amount of interest regarding the use of diversity-based testing techniques in software testing over the past two decades. Diversity-based testing (DBT)…
Do Automatic Test Generation Tools Generate Flaky Tests?
Martin Gruber, Muhammad Firhard Roslan, Owain Parry +3
Non-deterministic test behavior, or flakiness, is common and dreaded among developers. Researchers have studied the issue and proposed approaches to mitigate it. However, the vast…
