    Research in aspect-oriented software testing has resulted in many approaches as reported in literature. A few papers have devoted to literature survey in this field of research. However, the survey only focuses on certain selected topic and particular approaches rather than providing a comprehensive set of references that cover most of the work related to aspect-oriented software testing as a whole. In this case, there is no work yet reported in the literature to tackle this shortage. Therefore, in this paper a collection of 81 references drawn from journals, conference and workshop proceedings, thesis, and technical reports on the subject of testing aspect-oriented software is presented. Each reference is accompanied by a summary of important finding. The aim when selecting the references was to cover as many related articles starting from the first work on the subject in 2002 until the year 2011. For this reason, the bibliography is intended to help the researcher or practitioner, who is relatively new, in gathering information on the subject. The bibliography is organized according to the following sections: general introduction; background on the subject; issues in testing aspect-oriented software; fault models and types; testing coverage criteria; aspect-oriented testing techniques; and automated support for testing aspect-oriented software

    Meredith (1998) argues for more case and field research studies in the field of operations\ud management. Based on a literature review, we discuss several existing approaches to case\ud studies and their characteristics. These approaches include; the Grounded Theory approach\ud which proposes no prior literature review in the substantive area under study (Glaser, 1992:\ud 31) versus Eisenhardt (1989) and Yin (1994) who propose a more directed study with a priori\ud constructs. We then propose an alternative approach which we call the progressive case\ud study. This approach combines strengths of both approaches such as the informative aspect of\ud Grounded Theory and a more plan able approach such as Yin and Eisenhardt propose. We\ud also describe that case studies are not simply a set of interviews and provide examples on the\ud amount of data that might be collected in a detailed case study. Furthermore, we provide\ud direction for analyzing qualitative data in cases
