Description
Summary:Volume 105 focuses on four important topics. (1) "Web-Based Behavioral Modeling for Continuous User Authentication," discusses the important role that authentication plays in how we interact with today's computers, mobile devices, and the web. This topic has become especially important because in recent years more corporate information and applications have become accessible via the Internet. Many employees are working from remote locations and need access to secure corporate files. (2) "Advances in Model-Based Testing of GUI-Based Software," describes that the all-too-familiar Graphical User Interface (GUI) has become an integral component of today's software. A stable and reliable GUI is necessary for correct functioning of software applications. (3) "Fault Localization Using Hybrid Static/Dynamic Analysis," notes that the increasing complexity of today's software makes the software development process highly time and resource consuming. The increasing number of software configurations, input parameters, usage scenarios, supporting platforms, external dependencies, and versions plays an important role in expanding the costs of maintaining and repairing unforeseeable software faults. (4) "Characterizing Software Test Case Behavior With Regression Models," notes that testing modern software applications, such as those built on an event-driven paradigm, requires effective consideration of context. Model-based testing (MBT) approaches have been presented as an effective way to consider context, but effective MBT requires a high level of automation. Fully automated approaches too often lead to issues that threaten the very claims that MBT offers, such as generating test cases that are not fully executable and generating very large suites of test cases.
