Invitation to my PhD Defense "Modeling Examples to Test and Understand Software"
by Markus Gaelli 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Hello everyone, on Monday 13th of November at 10:00 I will defend my Ph. D. thesis entitled "Modeling Examples to Test and Understand Software". The defense will take place in room 003 in the IWI building on Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern. Please find the abstract below. After the defense, there will be an apero in the Cafeteria of the building S14 on Schutzenmattstrasse 14. Everybody is cordially invited to the defense and to the apero. With best regards Markus Gaelli Software Composition Group Universitaet Bern ------------------------------------- One of the oldest techniques to explain abstract concepts is to provide concrete examples. By explaining an abstract concept with a concrete example people make sure that the concept is understood and remembered. Examples in software can be used both to test the software and to illustrate its functionality. Object-oriented programs are built around the concepts of classes, methods and variables, where methods are the atoms of the functionality. But the meta-models of object-oriented languages do not allow developers to associate runnable and composable examples with these concepts and particularly not with methods. Unit tests on the other hand, assure the quality of the units under test and document them. Not being integrated into the language, unit tests are not linked explicitly to their units under test which makes it unnecessarily difficult to use them for documenting, typing and debugging software. In addition they are not composable making it hard to develop higher level test scenarios in parallel with higher level objects. In this thesis we analyze unit tests to learn about implicit dependencies among tests and from tests to the methods under test. We develop a technique to partially order unit tests in terms of their covered methods, which reveals possible redundancies due to the lack of composability. We show how partial orders can be used to debug and to comprehend software. We then develop a taxonomy based on several case studies revealing that a high fraction of unit tests already implicitly focuses on single methods. We show that the rest of the tests can be decomposed into commands focusing on single methods. We build a meta-model based on our findings of analyzing test interdependencies which establishes how tests can be explicitly linked to their method under test and how they can be composed to form higher-level test scenarios. We explain how the problems of missing links between tests and units under test are solved using our meta-model. Furthermore, we implemented the meta-model and a first user interface on top of it to give first evidence of how our model supports the developer.

Nov 9 - HEG- GVA - Nicolas Gold - CHOOSE talk - Understanding programs with concept assignment and related technologies
by Dugerdil Philippe (HES) 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

The CHOOSE executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Nicolas Gold (King's College London) on 'Understanding programs with concept assignment and related technologies'. This event is free. Non-CHOOSE members are encouraged to fill out the membership application form (http://www.s-i.ch/si-appl.html) before attending the meeting. If you want to know more about CHOOSE and the events which CHOOSE organises, please visit http://www.choose.s-i.ch/. NOTE: registration for this event is required. Please fill out the registration form at the end of this e-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Understanding programs with concept assignment and related technologies ======================================================================= Nov 9, 2006 HEG - Haute école de gestion Univ. of Applied Sciences Campus Battelle, Building F. 7, rte de Drize 1227 Geneva Room C210 Travel instructions: http://campus.hesge.ch/dugerdilp/how_to_find_heg.htm Speaker ------- Dr Nicolas Gold King's College London Agenda ------ 17h15 Talk and Q/A Abstract ======== Program understanding has long been recognised as a necessary but difficult part of the software maintenance process. Concept assignment approaches aim to aid this task by linking domain-level information (concepts) to parts of source code. Although concept assignment was originally proposed to aid comprehension, recent work has extended it to enable executable component extraction on the basis of concept-level criteria. This talk will present an overview of this recent work (undertaken in the CONTRACTS research project) describing algorithms developed for component extraction, experiments with new methods to improve concept assignment, and studies of program characteristics that help to explain the behaviour of techniques that rely on program dependence information. Bio === Dr Gold is a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at King's College London, deputy director of the Centre for Research in Evolution, Search and Testing (CREST) and director of the Service-Oriented Software Research Network (SOSoRNet). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Durham in 2000 and his primary research interests are in software evolution using reverse engineering and service-oriented computing. His work in reverse engineering has produced methods for concept assignment and component extraction, and he has worked on architectures, negotiation methods, and comprehension approaches for service-oriented software. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!
