Advanced Coverage Criteria: Specification and Support in Automatic Testing Tools.
Abstract
Automatic test data generation (ATG) is a major topic in software engineering. In this talk, we will try to bridge the gap between the coverage criteria supported by state-of-the-art white-box ATG technologies, especially Dynamic Symbolic Execution, and advanced coverage criteria found in the literature. First, we define a new testing criterion, called label coverage, and prove it to be both expressive and amenable to efficient automation. We propose several optimization techniques resulting in an effective black-box support for label coverage in ATG tools. Second, we show how a combination of static analysis techniques can be efficiently applied to detect infeasible test objectives. Finally, we present a new specification language, called HTOL, capable to further extend the expressive power of labels and encode even most advanced test coverage criteria (such as MCDC, dataflow criteria, non-interference properties, etc.).

Mutation Testing Advances, University of Luxembourg
Abstract
Much research on software testing and test techniques relies on experimental studies based on mutation testing. Mutation testing uses artificial faults to simulate the behavior of real faults. However, there is little evidence supporting this practice and little knowledge regarding its sensitivity to potential validity threats. Recent research has shown that mutation-based studies vulnerable to potential validity threats, leading to possible Type I errors; incorrectly rejecting the Null Hypothesis. In this talk, I will survey the recent advances in the area of mutation testing and will discuss the recent empirical studies demonstrating the advantages and potential threats to validity of mutation-based testing studies.

Beyond Testing!
Abstract
Test automation has become more and more in practical use in industry. This holds not only for test execution but also for test suite generation. Although, there are still stumbling blocks around preventing testing from being completely automated, which require additional research work, there is the question what happens next, when dealing with automation in software engineering? One answer to this question is the automation of fault localization and program repair, both having a high potential for getting rid of intricate, time consuming, but necessary activities to be still carried out manually. In my talk I will introduce several methods for fault localization that have being developed over the past decades, e.g., spectrum-based fault localization and model-based debugging. In addition, I will discuss the potential of these methods to be applied in practice, and outline future research directions of automated debugging.

Techniques and Tools for Mobile Testing Automation
Abstract
Development and diffusion of Mobile applications go forward at a tremendous rhythm, due to the always increasing impact of smartphones and other mobile devices on people’s habitudes but many applications are uninstalled and discarded by users when they experience the presence of bugs. Functional testing represents a crucial activity in the context of mobile applications, and there is a large request in both industry and scientific community for mobile testing methodologies, techniques and tools. In particular, since these activities are usually repetitive, expensive and time consuming, there is a remarkable request for automated techniques and tools supporting them.
This talk will provide a view of the state-of-the-art on techniques and tools supporting the automation of functional testing of mobile applications, including model based, model learning, search based, user session based and random testing techniques.

Modeling and Risk Analysis of Hardware/Software Systems
Abstract
Modern safety-critical systems grow very extremely. Thus, in order to design and analyze such a system, one have to use automated tools. Nowadays the most useful practice is model-based design and early verification and validation.
We present methods and tools for design and automated analysis of safety-critical systems. Formal model of an architecture of a system under design is specified using Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL). In order to describe safety-related requirements, an AADL model is augmented with error specification in AADL Error Model Annex notation. We focus on main techniques of risk analysis, such as Functional Hazard Assessment, System Safety Assessment, Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.

Model-based Validation, Verification and Analysis Approaches: Applications to Railways
Abstract
The usage of model-based approaches in critical systems development is widely recommended
to cope with several challenges, such as capturing requirements, specifying behaviours, evaluating design choices, performing RAMS analysis and deriving test cases. An upward trend is to automate the V&V and evaluation processes by providing toolchains in support of effective model-based approaches able to interoperate with well-known and assessed tools for quality and architecture management. This talk will present a concrete realization of a model-based approach for automating the functional system-level testing of a modern railway control system as well as the application of model-driven techniques for deriving availability and vulnerability models of railway services and infrastructures.

Automated Testing at the Graphical User Interface Level - Looking for the best TEST*
Abstract
Automated testing at the user interface level is challenging but rewarding. It difficult to define the expected behaviour of the graphical user interface (GUI) in a level of detail required for automated testing, but there are a lot of bugs to be found at user interface level, especially when there are multiple platforms and devices that are supported. We will present TESTAR (http://www.testar.org/), an open source tool for automated testing at the GUI level. With TESTAR it is possible to detect if the GUI crashes or hangs with very little human effort. No definition of test cases or oracles, no implementing or maintaining scripts required. Only time for automated test execution. Of course, the type of bugs found is limited without “proper” test oracles. By putting more effort in guiding TESTAR defining test oracles and possibly using search-based techniques to select actions, it is possible to find more and different kinds of bugs.

Secure and Trusted Paradigm for Interoperable eHealth Services
Abstract
Security is considered the most important barrier for the adoption of new health applications as a major tool of care. In addition, during the last decade, we witness a considerable increase of citizen’s mobility in Europe for education, training, working and touristic purposes. Increasing mobility of patients is an important feature for independent living along the lines of active and healthy aging promoted by EIP-AHA (European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing) but it also adds additional issues while preserving health data security. This talk will introduce the work being done in the framework of the KONFIDO project which favours and especially contributes to the development and improvement of the prerequisites for intra- and cross-border patient mobility by allowing to widespread eHealth deployment and the secure exchange of personal health data among cross-border health systems.
