Presentation: Software Testing Research Achievements, Challenges

This presentation provides an overview of software testing research, addressing its achievements, challenges, and future aspirations. It delves into various aspects such as performance management, reviewing test objectives, and usability considerations. The presentation highlights the importance of a roadmap in managing software testing issues, and discusses factors impacting software testing, including Dijkstra’s algorithm and model-based testing procedures. Furthermore, it explores component and protocol-based techniques, reliability testing, and the limitations of automated software testing. Test-based modeling techniques and the use of test oracles are also examined, along with aspects of software testing like model-based test generation. Finally, the presentation emphasizes the significance of feasibility reports in addressing security concerns, ultimately concluding with different perspectives on software development challenges and the importance of maintaining a roadmap for addressing identified issues.

Presentation on
Software Testing
Research:
Achievements,
Challenges, Dreams

Introduction
The primary determination of this presentation is
to focus on the challenges , achievements and the
dream of the software testing procedures.

Challenges of software testing
There are numerous
challenges of
software testing
such as the
followings:
• Performance
management.
• Reviewing test
objective.
• Reviewing
usability of

Impact of the challenges
The efficiency of the software
testing process can be
significantly impacted if these
challenges the are not
professionally addressed by
the software testers (Bertolino
2007). A valid roadmap can be
used to manage all the
identified issues of software
testing.

Importance of roadmap
The software
testing
procedures can
be improved
and all the
inconsistencies
of the software
testing
procedures can
be improved or

Factors having an impact
in software testing
Dijkstra’s
algorithm, model
based testing
procedures can
be very much
important for the
identification of
the bugs
regarding the
software testing
procedures

Components and protocol based techniques
The concepts of Object
Oriented language are
widely used in components
based techniques.
Communication between
each of the stakeholders of
the software development
are needed for the protocol
testing procedures.

Reliability Testing
All the bugs and errors
of the website based
software can be
detected using the
reliability test. All the
default fault testers can
be improved using the
reliability testing.

The limitations of automating software
testing are as follow:
• Maintenance of test hypothesis.
• Effectiveness of the testing
procedures.
• Concerns of compositional testing.
• Concerns of empirical body of
evidences.

Test based modeling technique
Testability and
the controllability
of the software
can be
maintained using
the test based
modelling
techniques.

Test Oracle
The testing
procedure can be
tested using the test
oracle. The
quantification
process of software
testing involves the
use of test oracle.

Aspects of software testing
Model based test
generation and the
concern of the
Symbolic Transition
Systems are very
much important
aspects of software
testing. Feasibility
report is important to
address the security

Conclusion
The presentations helps in concluding
different aspects of software development
such as the challenges associated from
different perspectives, importance of
maintaining roadmap to deal with the
identified issues.
