A Comparative analysis on Black box testing strategies
01 Jul 2016-pp 1-6
TL;DR: This paper analyses the various Black box testing methodologies and the issues related to the same and suggests ways to improve the quality of the testing activities.
Abstract: Software rules in almost all fields of science and technology. Now a days the user classes of a particular software are comparatively high based on their acceptance and quality. So it is the onus of the software developer to ensure that the software is bug free and it will perform the desired functionalities without fail. Software testing is an important activity in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases. In traditional Waterfall model, testing is the life cycle activity that is performed after the design and coding phase. The various research analytics states that nearly 30% effort of entire software development is used for performing testing activities. So testing activities plays a vital role in developing a quality software. Software testing mainly consists of three categories: Unit testing, Integration testing, System testing. Unit testing basically follows two approaches, Black box testing and White box testing. This paper analyses the various Black box testing methodologies and the issues related to the same.

TL;DR: Software Testing was conducted using black-box testing and results show the scoring system has not been able to fulfil expectations because there is no limit value so the random value will remain stored by the system.
Abstract: SIAKAD is a website based information system assessment application that holds academic data of an educational institution. SIAKAD SDIT Robbani was created to help the assessment process of students, both in the form of public and religious subjects. With this investigation is expected to facilitate the assessment process at the school Rabbani. For that, testing is required to know whether the system can run as expected or not. Software Testing was conducted using black-box testing. The software testing method uses a Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) because the assessment has the minimum and maximum constraints of an inputted value. The test results show the scoring system has not been able to fulfil expectations because there is no limit value so the random value will remain stored by the system. This can result in incorrect information generated by the SIAKAD.

TL;DR: This paper proposes how IoT, in conjunction with basic service automation, can be used to influence climate control and creates a working model using sensors that control the humidity and required temperature conditions, thereby maintaining a suitable growth environment.
Abstract: The rapid urbanization and industrialization of the population have resulted in a critical shortage of agricultural land and manpower to meet the growing population’s needs. The future of tomorrow requires impetus through concepts such as IoT Automation in farmlands to meet the increased demand for labour and inspection while maintaining economic efficiency without depleting the environment. Monitoring becomes difficult with a reduced manpower base, which may result in crop failures. The purpose of this paper is to propose how IoT, in conjunction with basic service automation, can be used to influence climate control. Thus, a working model is created using sensors that control the humidity and required temperature conditions, thereby maintaining a suitable growth environment while monitoring and analyzing in real time.

TL;DR: A novel and efficient implementation of FSCS, namely Fixed-Sized-Candidate-Set using Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data (FSCS-SIMD), which employs SIMD instruction architecture for simultaneous distance calculations of multiple test cases in a many-to-many style is proposed.
Abstract: The Fixed-Size-Candidate-Set (FSCS) version of Adaptive Random Testing (ART) attempts to enhance the fault detection effectiveness of Random Testing (RT) by generating new test cases that are far away from previously executed test cases. Despite its simplicity and good fault-detection effectiveness, FSCS suffers from a very high time cost mainly due to its Single-Instruction-Single-Data (SISD) mechanism for its distance calculation process. To overcome this drawback, in this paper, we propose a novel and efficient implementation of FSCS, namely Fixed-Sized-Candidate-Set using Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data (FSCS-SIMD), which employs SIMD instruction architecture for simultaneous distance calculations of multiple test cases in a many-to-many style. Compared with the original FSCS, our proposed method loads a batch of multiple test cases from the candidate test case set and executed test case set in one CPU execution cycle. After that, a single distance calculation instruction is given to the whole batch for the calculation of all pairwise distances. We conducted a series of simulations and empirical studies to evaluate testing effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method against FSCS. Our results show that, on average, FSCS-SIMD reduces test case generation overhead of FSCS up to 90%, while maintaining the comparable fault detection effectiveness.
