Abstract

Traditional white and black box testing methods are effective in revealing many kinds of defects, but the more elusive bugs slip past them. Model-based testing incorporates additional application concepts in the selection of tests, which may provide more refined bug detection, but does not go far enough. Test selection patterns identify defect-oriented contexts in a program. They also identify suggested tests for risks associated with a specified context. A context and its risks is a kind of conceptual trap designed to corner a bug. The suggested tests will find the bug if it has been caught in the trap.

软件测试选择模式和难以捉摸的bug
传统的白盒和黑盒测试方法在揭示多种缺陷方面是有效的,但是更难以捉摸的bug会溜过它们。基于模型的测试在测试的选择中包含了额外的应用程序概念,这可能提供更精细的错误检测,但还远远不够。测试选择模式识别程序中面向缺陷的上下文。它们还确定与特定上下文相关的风险的建议测试。上下文及其风险是一种概念陷阱,旨在将错误置于角落。建议的测试将发现在陷阱中捕获的错误。
