1st International Workshop on Validating Software Tests
Sprache des Titels:
Englisch
Original Kurzfassung:
Large software projects tend to accumulate many test cases, which
can become difficult to maintain. Both automatically-generated and
human-written test cases often come without documentation, so it is
difficult to determine how a test should be adapted to a new system.
Should a passing test perhaps fail? Should a failing test be made to
pass? Are there tools and techniques that can help us find an answer to
these questions?
Unlike full program understanding and visualization, understanding a
test case typically involves a single program trace, and is therefore a
more targeted and tractable problem. Much work has been done on individual
aspects of this problem, and we hope this workshop gives a platform for
discussions and possible synergistic approaches.
