Identification of classification criteria for testing Concurrent Software Systems
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Many recent software systems are composed of multiple execution flows that run simultaneously, spanning from applications designed to exploit the power of recent multi-core architectures to distributed systems consisting of multiple components deployed on different physical systems. We collectively refer to such systems as concurrent systems. Concurrent systems are difficult to test, since the problems that derive from their concurrent nature depend on the interleavings of the actions performed by the individual execution flows. Testing techniques that target this problem must take into account the concurrency aspects of the systems. The increasingly rapid spread of parallel and distributed architectures led to a deluge of concurrent software systems, and the explosion of testing techniques for such systems in the last decade. The current lack of a comprehensive classification, analysis and comparison of the more testing techniques for concurrent systems limits the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and hampers the future advancements in the field. This study provides a framework to capture the key features of the available techniques to test concurrent software systems, identifies a set of classification criteria to review and compare the available techniques, and discusses in details their strengths and weaknesses, leading to a thorough assessment of the field and paving the road for future progresses.
