Authors: Mark Harman, Henry Muccini, Wolfram Schulte, and Tao Xie

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10111, Practical Software Testing : Tool Automation and Human Factors (2010)

Abstract
From March 14, 2010 to March 19, 2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10111 ``Practical Software Testing : Tool Automation and Human Factors'' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

10111 Executive Summary – Practical Software Testing: Tool Automation and Human Factors

Authors: Mark Harman, Henry Muccini, Wolfram Schulte, and Tao Xie

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10111, Practical Software Testing : Tool Automation and Human Factors (2010)

Abstract
The main goal of the seminar ``Practical Software Testing: Tool Automation and Human Factors'' was to bring together academics working on algorithms, methods, and techniques for practical software testing, with practitioners, interested in developing more soundly-based and well-understood testing processes and practices. The seminar's purpose was to make researchers aware of industry's problems, and practitioners aware of research approaches. The seminar focused in particular on testing automation and human factors. In the week of March 14-19, 2010, 40 researchers from 11 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States) discussed their recent work, and recent and future trends in software testing. The seminar consisted of five main types of presentations or activities: topic-oriented presentations, research-oriented presentations, short self-introduction presentations, tool demos, and working group meetings and presentations.

Allowing Overlapping Boundaries in Source Code using a Search Based Approach to Concept Binding

Authors: Kiarash Mahdavi, Nicolas Gold, Zheng Li, and Mark Harman

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6301, Duplication, Redundancy, and Similarity in Software (2007)

Abstract
One approach to supporting program comprehension involves binding concepts to source code. Previously proposed approaches to concept binding have enforced nonoverlapping boundaries. However, real-world programs may contain overlapping concepts. This paper presents techniques to allow boundary overlap in the binding of concepts to source code. In order to allow boundaries to overlap, the concept binding problem is reformulated as a search problem. It is shown that the search space of overlapping concept bindings is exponentially large, indicating the suitability of sampling-based search algorithms. Hill climbing and genetic algorithms are introduced for sampling the space. The paper reports on experiments that apply these algorithms to 21 COBOL II programs taken from the commercial financial services sector. The results show that the genetic algorithm produces significantly better solutions than both the hill climber and random search.
