TEST FRAMEWORKS FOR ELUSIVE BUG TESTING
William E. Howden, Cliff Rhyne · 2007
Elusive bugs can be particularly expensive because they often survive testing and are released in a deployed system. They are characterized as involving a combination of properties. One approach to their detection is bounded exhaustive testing (BET). This paper describes how to implement BET using a variation of JUnit, called BETUnit. The idea of a BET pattern is also introduced. BET patterns describe how to solve certain problems in the application of BETUnit. Classes of patterns include BET test generation and BET oracle design. Examples are given of each. 1
