Description

The project lets you dive deep into a specific subject of interest. Read a scientific paper related to testing and present the results!

Goals

This assignment aims to reach the following objectives from the syllabus:

Upon completion of the examination, students should be able to:

• individually present and explain a specific study area within software testing and
• demonstrate theoretical insights in that area
• critically evaluate literature and other information sources in the field of software testing.

Single student Assignment

This assignment contains elements that must be done by a single student.

Note that all artifacts should be marked by the student.

Examination of the assignment is done individually.

Task

Find one peer reviewed article(paper) about a subject of interest in the field of testing. This paper should either be published in a peer-reviewed journal or conference.

Tip: Linnaeus University Library staff are good at searching for and finding articles.

Here are some examples of databases to find suitable papers:

OneSearch (LNU)

Information about OneSearch: https://lnu.se/ub/soka-och-vardera/onesearch/

Plugin to allow access to articles the university has access to: https://lnu.se/ub/soka-och-vardera/soka-utanfor-campus/

• Why? What problem are the author(s) trying to solve?
• How? What method has been used to answer the question?
• What is the result from the method?
• What is the validity of the result according to the author?
• Does the research solve the problem/answer the question?
• What are to be done next? future work? and why?
• And lastly something from you. What do you think and why? If you make claims support those with evidence or logic

Deadlines
