Test case reduction based on the join condition in pairwise coverage-based database testing, accepted for InSTA 2018

Yuper Lay Myint, Hironori Washizaki, Yoshiaki Fukuzawa, Hideyuki Kanuka, Hiroki Ohbayashi, “Test case reduction based on the join condition in pairwise coverage-based database testing,” 5th International Workshop on Software Test Architecture (InSTA 2018), April 13, 2018, Västerås, Sweden, conjunction with ICST 2018

Testing database applications correctly and effectively remains an issue. This study improves Selected Pairwise Coverage Testing (SPCT), which is a pairwise coverage-based test method for database applications that can discover bugs not detected by conventional methods. Because SPCT considers only selected columns in the SQL query and the conditions in the simple WHERE clause, achieving full pairwise coverage has some redundancies. In this work, we propose a new pairwise coveragebased test method by considering the condition in the JOIN clause to further reduce the redundant parameter combinations. The experimental results are evaluated to confirm the effectiveness of proposed test method compared to SPCT.

A Pattern Language for Knowledge Handover when People Transition, accepted at LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming (DBLP/Scopus)

Kei Ito, Joseph W. Yoder, Hironori Washizaki, and Yoshiaki Fukazawa, “A Pattern Language for Knowledge Handover when People Transition,” LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming, Vol. 4, pp.1-32, 2018. (DBLP, Scopus indexed)(to appear)

Handover of knowledge and responsibilities can cause problems when people transfer to other parts of a company or retire. Handover issues be-came apparent in Japan when many people from the Baby Boomer Generation retired simultaneously in 2007. In particular, this was a resounding issue in the software industry. Most business people are familiar with the concept of a handover. Although effective handovers are crucial for seamless business oper-ations during personnel changes, the preferable elements for a handover are ambiguous. In this paper, we outline a “Pattern Language for Knowledge Handover when People Transition”. The pattern language consists of handover patterns. Actual handover patterns were pattern mined from our experience as well as from industrial interviews. We originally started with handover anti-patterns which identify actual problems for a handover. This led us to pattern mine the handover patterns that provide strategies to mitigate these problems. The examples are from software industry, but these patterns are applicable to other domains.

Title: Using NLP and ML to unlock information hidden in software repositories
Talker: Christoph Treude (University of Adelaide)

Knowledge management plays a central role in many software development organizations. While much of the important technical knowledge can be captured in software artifacts, there often exists a gap between the information needs of software developers and the structure of this information in a repository. To help developers access information in their repositories more effectively, we are developing approaches to analyze and repackage these artifacts into formats that are more amenable to their readers. This talk will highlight several such approaches that we have developed and evaluated to support the various stakeholders in a software engineering project, including a task-based search interface for software documentation, a code snippet content assist to import code fragments from Stack Overflow, a machine learning approach to augment API documentation with “insight sentences”, and a portal designed to help project newcomers. Our work suggests that while much of the knowledge needed by software developers is already available somewhere in a repository, much work is needed to get it to developers in the right format when and where they need it.

Christoph Treude is an ARC DECRA Fellow and a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at the University of Adelaide, Australia and currently visiting the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan on a JSPS fellowship. He completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Victoria, Canada, in 2012 and received his Diplom degree in Computer Science / Management Information Systems from the University of Siegen, Germany, in 2007. The goal of his research is to advance collaborative software engineering through empirical studies and the innovation of processes and tools that explicitly take the wide variety of artifacts available in a software repository into account.
