Article Citation - Scopus: 5Unifying Behavioral and Feature Modeling for Testing of Software Product Lines(World Scientific Publishing, 2023) Belli, Fevzi; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Ufuktepe, EkincanExisting software product line (SPL) engineering testing approaches generally provide positive testing that validates the SPL's functionality. Negative testing is commonly neglected. This research aims to unify behavioral and feature models of an SPL, enable testing before and after variability binding for domain-centric and product-centric testing, and combine positive and negative testing for a holistic testing view. This study suggests behavioral modeling with event sequence graphs (ESGs). This heterogeneous modeling strategy supports bottom-up domain testing and top-down product testing with the feature model. This new feature-oriented ESG test creation method generates shorter test sequences than the original ESG optimum test sequences. Statechart and original ESG test-generating methods are compared. Positive testing findings are similar. The Statechart technique generated 12 test cases with 59 events, whereas the ESG technique created six test cases with 60 events. The ESG technique generated 205 negative test cases with 858 events with the Test Suite Designer tool. However, the Conformiq Designer tool for the Statechart technique does not have a negative test case generation capability. It is shown that the proposed ESG-based holistic approach confirms not only the desirable (positive) properties but also the undesirable (negative) ones. As an additional research, the traditional ESG test-generating approach is compared to the new feature-oriented method on six SPLs of different sizes and features. Our case study results show that the traditional ESG test generation approach demonstrated higher positive test generation scores compare to the proposed feature-oriented test generation approach. However, our proposed feature-oriented test generation approach is capable of generating shorter test sequences, which could be beneficial for reducing the execution time of test cases compared to traditional ESG approach. Finally, our case study has also shown that regardless of the test generation approach, there has been found no significant difference between the Bottom-up and Top-down test strategies with respect to their positive test generation scores. © World Scientific Publishing Company.Editorial Message From Tain Symposium Organizing Committee(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Cai, Y.; Dustdar, S.; Yamazaki, K.It is a pleasure to welcome you to COMPSAC 2015 Symposium on Technologies and Applications of the Internet (TAIN). This year, first time in its history, COMPSAC is organized as a series of symposiums under the main theme of “Mobile and Cloud Systems – Challenges and Applications”. TAIN Symposium providing a forum to share latest innovations on Internet technologies and applications perfectly matches with the main theme. Topics of interest for TAIN include all types of networks with their architectures and applications as well as their management, performance, and security. Moreover, TAIN Symposium addresses Internet of things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M) and peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, content distribution networks (CDN) and also emerging network technologies such as software defined networks (SDN). A vast array of challenges for Internet technologies and applications and proposals for solutions will be discussed in TAIN Symposium.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 6Spl-At Gherkin: a Gherkin Extension for Feature Oriented Testing of Software Product Lines(IEEE, 2019) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Şensülün, SecanAs cloud platforms turn into software product lines (SPLs), testing products composed of customer selected features becomes more and more important. In this paper, we propose a feature-oriented testing approach for platform-based SPLs through a novel extension to Gherkin called SPL-AT Gherkin and a novel automatic test method generation technique, which utilizes TestNG framework. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach by a case study.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Featured Event Sequence Graphs for Model-Based Incremental Testing of Software Product Lines(IEEE, 2019) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Beyazıt, Mutlu; Öztürk, DilekThe goal of software product lines (SPLs) is rapid development of high-quality software products in a specific domain with cost minimization. To assure quality of software products from SPLs, products need to be tested systematically. However, testing every product variant in isolation is generally not feasible for large number of product variants. An approach to deal with this issue is to use incremental testing, where test artifacts that are developed for one product are reused for another product which can be obtained by incrementally adding features to the prior product. We propose a novel model-based test generation approach for products developed using SPL that follows incremental testing paradigm. First, we introduce Featured Event Sequence Graphs (FESGs), an extension of ESGs, that provide necessary definitions and operations to support commonalities and variabilities in SPLs with respect to test models. Then we propose a test generation technique for the product variants of an SPL, which starts from any product. The proposed technique with FESGs avoids redundant test generation for each product from SPL. We compare our technique with in-isolation testing approach by a case study.Article Model-Based Selective Layer-Centric Testing(Information Processing Society of Japan, 2018) Belli, Fevzi; Güler Dinçer, Nevin; Linschulte, Michael; Tuğlular, TuğkanModel-based testing of large systems usually requires decomposition of the model into hierarchical submodels for generating test sequences, which fulfills the goals of module testing, but not those of system testing. System testing requires test sequences be generated from a fully resolved model, which necessitates refining the toplevel model, that is, by replacing its elements with submodels they represent. If the depth of model hierarchy is high, the number of test sequences along with their length increases resulting in high test costs. For solving this conflict, a novel approach is introduced that generates test sequences based on the top-level model and replaces elements of these sequences by corresponding, optimized test sequences generated by the submodels. To compensate the shortcoming at test accuracy, the present approach selects components that have lowering impact on the overall system reliability. The objective is to increase the reliabilities of these critical components by intensive testing and appropriate correction which, as a consequence, also increases the overall reliability at less test effort without losing accuracy. An empirical study based on a large web-based commercial system is performed to validate the approach and analyze its characteristics, and to discuss its strengths and weaknesses. © 2018 Information Processing Society of Japan.Conference Object Özellik Yönelimli Ürün Konfigürasyonlarının Olay Sıra Çizgeleri ile Doğrulanması(CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2018) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Belli, Fevzi; Öztürk, DilekThis study attempts to suggest an approach to systematically test potentially very large number of product variants in feature-oriented software. Feature-oriented software forms a popular concept to efficiently realize software reuse. Developing feature-oriented software is well accepted to accomplish software reuse in an efficient way. Developing product variants by exploiting software reuse requires verification of these variants by exploiting test reuse. However, the reuse of tests in the verification of variants is an underworked topic. In this study, we propose a model-based approach to top-down testing of feature-oriented software that does not have dependency or conflict between features. In the case study, event sequence graphs (ESGs) are used to model the software under consideration and then to generate test cases for positive and negative testing. The generated tests are executed via SahiPro web test automation tool, of which scripts are also automatically generated from ESGs.Conference Object Lojistik Merkez Konteyner Terminal Yönetimi Yazılımı için Alana Özgü Dil Geliştirimi ve Kullanımı(CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2014) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Şentuna, Necmi; Tuğ, Ali Koray; Dağhan, Gökhan; Güven, CeyhunLojistik merkezler için değişik özelliklere sahip konteyner terminal yönetim yazılımları geliştirme sürecini verimli hale getirmek için alana özgü bir dil geliştirilmiş ve kullanılmıştır.
