MBT: Model-Based Testing
Study period 4, 2015
Mon 23 March - Wed 27 May, 2015
Course codes: DIT848/GU and DAT260/Chalmers, 7.5 hp
The recommended book for this course is:
- M. Utting and B. Legeard, Practical Model-Based
Testing. Elsevier - Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 2007.
(An electronic version is available at http://bit.ly/wGlT94 - note
that you must be logged in at Chalmers' network to get access to it.)
Note that the first part of the course does not follow any
concrete book so it is difficult to point to specific parts of a
book deadling with the content. However, as a suggestion you
might want to take a look at the following books:
- P.C. Jorgensen. Software Testing: A Craftsman's
Approach. Auerbach Publications, 3rd edition, 2008. (Mainly
chapters 1 and 12.)
- I. Sommerville. Software Engineering (8th edition),
Addison-Wesley, 2007. (Chapters 22 and 23.)
Lecture 11 will be based on the following paper (its reading is highly recommended):
For the QuickCheck lectures, this is the recommended literature:
- QuickCheck 2.4.2 Cheat
Sheet.
- Bryan O'Sullivan, Don Stewart, and John Goerzen. Real World
Haskell (Chapter 11: Testing and quality assurance.)
- Koen Claessen, John Hughes. QuickCheck: a lightweight tool for
random testing of Haskell programs. ICFP'00: 268-279, 2000.
- Thomas Arts, Laura M. Castro, John Hughes. Testing Erlang data types
with quviq quickcheck. In Erlang Workshop'08: 1-8, 2008. ACM.
- Laura M. Castro and Thomas Arts. Testing Data Consistency of
Data-Intensive Applications Using QuickCheck. In Electronic Notes in
Theoretical Computer Science, vol. 271: 41-62 (2011).
- Thomas Arts, Simon J. Thompson. From test cases to FSMs:
augmented test-driven development and property inference. Erlang
Workshop 2010: 1-12, 2010.
- Koen Claessen, Michal Palka, Nicholas Smallbone, John Hughes,
Hans Svensson, Thomas Arts, Ulf T. Wiger. Finding race conditions in
Erlang with QuickCheck and PULSE. In ICFP'09: 149-160, 2009.
You will find below a list of other books and papers on testing. Their
reading is not required for the course; the list is given only
as a suggestion for further reading for those of you interested in the
topic.
