On the Effectiveness of Test Extraction without Overhead
Developers write and execute ad-hoc tests as they implement software. While these tests reflect important insights of the developers (e.g., which parts of the software need testi...

WS-TAXI: A WSDL-based Testing Tool for Web Services
Web Services (WSs) are the W3C-endorsed realization of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Since they are supposed to be implementation-neutral, WSs are typically tested blac...

A Test-Driven Approach to Developing Pointcut Descriptors in AspectJ
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) languages introduce new constructs that can lead to new types of faults, which must be targeted by testing techniques. In particular, AOP languag...
