Progetto "Quality and Validation of Software Architectures" Resp. Antonia Bertolino
Project Goals • Rigorous approaches to Assess, Analyse and Test Complex Systems • Based on the notion of SA • Cost-effective Methods and Tools usable in industrial context (UML) • Scaling-up academic results and technology transfer of concepts & techniques (bring state-of-art to state-of-practice)
Integration Testing + Software Architecture = Integration Testing • Testing interactions (only) between system components (processes, packages, subsystems...) at an appropriate level of abstraction • SA = Structure + Behavior (statics) & (dynamics) Architecture-based Testing
“Top-down” Formal description of SA Based on the LTS “Bottom-up” UML-based, from ERI Case-studies Activities • Automated derivation of test cases for integration and system test • COW-Test, UIT => COW-Suite • Distributed SAs (Middleware, Component-based approach)
Currently • COW-suite development • UIT fine-tuning, manual application to ERI Case Study (GSM on the net) • Started study of mutual relationships between SA and underlying Middleware • Quantitative methods to control test phases continuously going-on
Team Young Francesca Basanieri, AR Eda Marchetti, PhD Student Andrea Polini, PhD Student Staff (or old?) Antonia Bertolino, Alberto Ribolini - IEI Gaetano Lombardi, Giovanni Nucera - ERI Ext. Coll. Raffaela Mirandola, Paola Inverardi, Henry Muccini
Milestones • Mid-2000: Start project for UML-based test • Oct00: Checkpoint with ERI of Method UIT -> need for strategy to manage tests • ~Dec00: Conceived Method COW Tool COW-Suite started • Jan01: Andrea’s PhD starts Planned... June: UIT part of COW-Suite ready preliminary workplan for SA&Middlew By the end of the year: complete COW-Suite prototype released
