New Section in SN Computer Science: Combinatorial Methods and Models in System Testing
The section acts as the first umbrella journal that focuses on the combinatorial testing (CT), model-based testing (MBT), and property-based testing (e.g., metamorphic testing, statistical testing, etc.) communities where combinatorial aspects play a prominent role. All these methods can support largely both black-box and white-box testing approaches, through well-tuned models which may also be applied […]

CT Competition at IWCT 2022
On April 4, 2022, a combinatorial testing (CT) tool competition was held for the first time at the premier workshop on CT, IWCT 2022, that evaluated the performance of tools capable of generating covering arrays (CAs), the principal mathematical structure used in CT. The competition was enabled by a cooperation between SBA Research and the University of […]

Journal Article: “In-Parameter-Order strategies for covering perfect hash families” by MATRIS Research Group
Michael Wagner and Dimitris E. Simos from the MATRIS research group published an article for the Elsevier Applied Mathematics and Computation Journal. Generating optimal covering arrays is a very challenging task where asides its theoretical value has huge impact in software testing, when such mathematical structures are translated to software artifacts. In this work, an In-Parameter-Order algorithm for constructing […]

Key Researcher Talk – Combinatorial Testing Methods and Algorithms for Detecting and Locating Cryptographic Trojans by Dimitris E. Simos (Remote)
Join the 4th edition of our Key Researcher Talk Series! Combinatorial Testing Methods and Algorithms for Detecting and Locating Cryptographic Trojans Combinatorial methods have attracted attention as a means of providing strong assurance at reduced cost, but are these methods practical and cost-effective, in the case of malicious hardware logic detection? In this talk, we […]
