Question

Read the article entitled Test Generation Tool for Modified Condition Decision Coverage by Elqortobi et.al. from the 2020 International Conference on Intelligent Systems.

  1. Although this is somewhat outside of the scope of the paper (or at a higher level than its focus), provide one advantage and one disadvantage to automating the test case generation process.
  2. In a few places in the paper, they refer to the “state explosion problem”. In your own words, briefly describe what this is and how it impacts test coverage.
  3. We are not concerned with fully understanding the first two steps of the Test Generation Tool: model transformation and path selection preparation. A key part of the third step – determining the feasible paths – includes finding the shortest path “between the nearest def-use and the p-use”. Briefly explain what is meant by this.
  4. Based on our discussion of compound conditions and the categories of test coverage metrics, why do you think that the Modified Condition Decision Coverage (MCDC) metric was selected as a requirement for avionics software certification (RTCA Standard DO-178C)?
  5. Provide any brief comments/thoughts on the overall technical level and content of the paper.
  6. Provide any brief comment/thoughts on the non-technical aspects of the paper, such as readability, organization, etc.
