Moving forward with combinatorial interaction testing
Combinatorial interaction testing (CIT) is an efficient and effective method of detecting failures that are caused by the interactions of various system input parameters. In this paper, we discuss CIT, point out some of the difficulties of applying it in practice, and highlight some recent advances that have improved CIT’s applicability to modern systems. We also provide a roadmap for future research and directions; one that we hope will lead to new CIT research and to higher quality testing of industrial systems
Numerical validation of the incremental launching method of a steel bridge through a small-scale experimental study
The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40799-016-0037-5This article presents an experimental and a numerical study of an incremental launching process of a steel bridge. The former is deployed in a scale-reduced laboratory,whereas the latter is performed using the finite elementmethod. The numerical simulation is based upon realistic transient boundary conditions and accurately reproduces the elastic response of the steel bridge during launching. This numerical approach is validated experimentally with the scale-reduced test performed at the laboratory. The properly validated numerical model is subsequently systematically employed as a simulation tool of the process. The proposed simulation protocol might be useful for design and monitoring purposes of steel bridges to be launched. Results concerning strains, stresses, and displacements might be inferred from the model and thus compared to field measurements obtained in situ. The conditions presented at the end of the article are potentially useful for researchers and practice engineers alike.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Domain Objects and Microservices for Systems Development: a roadmap
This paper discusses a roadmap to investigate Domain Objects being an
adequate formalism to capture the peculiarity of microservice architecture, and
to support Software development since the early stages. It provides a survey of
both Microservices and Domain Objects, and it discusses plans and reflections
on how to investigate whether a modeling approach suited to adaptable
service-based components can also be applied with success to the microservice
scenario
