| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we propose a weighting method for pair-wise testing. Pair-wise testing is a software testing strategy that tests every pair of parameter values at least once. Weighting allows the tester to specify desired frequency of occurrence in a test suite for each parameter value. Pair-wise testing is a widely used testing practice because of its effectiveness in finding faults in software. Weighting makes this strategy more effective by allowing the tester more control over the resulting test suite. However, there is not much research on weighting. To our knowledge PICT is the only publicly available pair-wise testing tool that supports weighting; but it has two drawbacks: First, weights are treated as priority, rather than specific frequency. Second, weighting effectively works only when weighted parameters have a relatively small domain of values. The proposed method aims to overcome these problems. The method works in two steps. First it generates a test suit of pair-wise testing and then expends it by adding test cases to reflect given weights. We implement the method in our testing tool and show some results to demonstrate how test suites generated by this tool satisfy given weights. |
