“…They consider when a path in the OMDAG changes it affects one or more test cases associated to the path and they classify changes as NEWSET, MODSET and DELSET, which can be identified as the elementary modifications we consider. A model-based selective regression techniques is described by Naslavsky et al [24], based on UML/OCL sequence diagrams. Briand et al [25] give a regression testing method using UML class, sequence and use case diagrams.…”

International audienceWe present in this paper the implementation of a model-based testing technique for evolving systems. These latters are described in UML using class/object diagrams and state charts, augmented with OCL constraints. Based on two versions of a given model, an automated process deduces the impact of model evolutions on the existing tests. Our methodology then classifies tests into different test suites to test evolution, regression, stagnation and deletion on the concrete system. We introduce the notion of tests and test suites life cycles that help defining the purpose of each test at a given step of the system evolution, and thus, their classification in different test suites. The approach is illustrated on a realistic case study, and the improvements w.r.t. other regression testing techniques are discussed

“…In the case of sequence diagrams, Haitao et al defined a formal testing framework that can be used to generate conformance test suites [55]; while Naslavsky et al defined a technique that can select the interesting test cases that need to be reexecuted when domain and sequence diagrams are modified [56].…”

“…Recent advances in testing based on specification models deal with three classes of popular models: finite state models [45,48], UML models [56,57], and feature models [60,61]. Differently from testing based on inferred models, research in testing based on specification models has mostly focused on consolidating technical and scientific results, and on investigating specific aspects related to test case generation, for instance on generating optimal test suites from finite state models [52,95].…”

“…This is also witnessed by the growing popularity of MBT in industry [110][111][112][113] and the increasing number of commercial tools available, such as Conformiq Designer [114], Smartesing CertifyIt [115,116] MBT from inferred models MBT from ripped models [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Learningbased MBT [40][41][42][43][44] MBT from finite state models [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] MBT from UML models [55][56][57][58][59] MBT from feature models [60,61] MBT from specification models testing [118]. Recent studies also demonstrated a comparable effort when debugging test cases generated with MBT and manual testing [119].…”

SUMMARYCompanies that provide web applications often encounter various security attacks and frequent feature‐update demands from users, and when these needs arise, companies need to fix security problems or upgrade the application with new features. These fixes often involve small patches or revisions, but still, testers need to perform regression testing on their products to ensure that the changes have not introduced new faults. Performing regression testing on the entire product, however, can be very expensive, and it is not a viable solution for companies that need a short turnaround time to release patches. One solution is focusing only on the code areas that have been changed and performing regression testing on them. By doing this, companies can provide quick patches more dependably whenever they encounter security breaches. In this paper, the authors proposed a new regression testing approach that identifies the affected areas by code changes using impact analysis and generates new test cases for the impacted areas by changes using program slices. To facilitate the approach, the researchers implemented a Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) Analysis and Regression Testing Engine (PARTE) and performed a controlled experiment using five open source web applications with multiple versions. The results showed that this approach is effective in reducing the cost of regression testing for a frequently patched web application, and exposed ways in which that effectiveness can vary with application characteristics and versioning frequencies.
