Software Test Automation - Masters Thesis [closed]

i am trying to write a thesis about Software Test Automation. I plan to compare the two Approaches of Recording and Programming of Test Scripts, and to discuss about several Automation Frameworks, for example Abbot, Selenium, Yemmy, FEST, etc ... Also in my Thesis will be a short overview about Softwaretesting Techniques and maybe a comparison of automated testing to software testing.

EDIT: I am planning to the aspects of testing an Application over it's GUI. So my Tests would be mostly on the Blackbox Side of the testing world. I have not planned to write about Unit Testing.

At the Moment i read pretty much about the different Automation Frameworks, but i may not have the time to review all of them. So i plan to read about them and make the Thesis more literature - based.

Do you think this Topic could be successful?
Do you have any other Ideas concerning this Topic?
Can you reccommend Literature?
What is your Opinion about this Topic?
gui-testing
regression-testing

You might also want to include things like DejaGNU's role in open-source automated software testing post compilation. – Aiden Bell Commented May 19, 2009 at 15:07
What scope of testing are you interested in? Developer (unit testing), functional, integration (these all have wikipedia articles on their terminology)? – Mark Roddy Commented May 19, 2009 at 15:15

A survey of the literature should be a fine focus for a MS thesis. It sounds like you want to just talk about black-box GUI-driving customer-facing tools, which is a reasonably small niche.

You /might/ want to have a page or two on the whole world of test tools - unit testing, security, load, etc, as someone mentioned above. But I think you targeted your niche pretty well.

I would think with a 6-credit thesis you should have plenty of time to explore and try out some of the bigger commercial and open-source tools as well as survey the literature. I would encourage you to look into both commerical tools (quick test pro, test complete) and also keyword-driven automation - selenium RC, for example. Someone else mentioned testing "behind the GUI" eg FIT/Fitnesse, it might be worth discussing and evaluating.

I cover black-box, functional test automation in my monthly column in the December 2008 issue of software test and performance magazine:

http://www.stpmag.com/issues/stp-2008-12.pdf (page 7)

That's the one page scratch-the-surface introduction. The five-sentence introduction is that screen record/playback tools compare everything, so if your GUI changes at all, in any way (even if you just change the screen resolution) that can come back as a false error. Keyword-driven tools only check what you tell them to check - they miss if a button is suddenly disabled for no good reason or an icon is not transparent.

Only a human is good at checking that hidden assertion at the end of every test case "... and nothing else strange happened."

So computer-based test execution and evaluation can have some value, but it should be part of a balanced breakfast.

Other things to look into:

James Bach's "Software Test Automation Snake Oil"
Kaner, Bach and Pettichord's book "Lessons Learned in Software Testing"
My blog post on test Frameworks - http://xndev.blogspot.com/2007/09/whats-test-framework.html (it's the number 4 google result for "what is a test framework", so I'm comfortable recommending it)
The minefield analogy ( http://www.testingperspective.com/tpwiki/doku.php?id=minefield )
The papers of Doug Hoffman on test automation: http://www.softwarequalitymethods.com/H-Papers.html
The classic "shelfware" problem of test automation
The anti-intellectualism pushed by some proponents of the blackbox test automation community
Kaner's Black Box Software Testing Course
James Bach's work on /cognitive/ testing
Context Driven Software Testing
Jon Kohl's work on "Man and Machine", or the cyborg approach (instead of computer-alone test execution and evaluation)

I hope that helps.

Matt, +1, great answer. But if by "record/playback tools compare everything, so if your GUI changes" you are referring to QTP and its brethren, I think you are off the mark. Current generation tools are out of the box resilient against simple screen res changes and object moves. You are right, but record/playback usually fails for other reasons - such as the app underwent more radical change. Developers typically do not just change a button, rather the workflow changes in some significant way. Hence the need for sound development practices to keep things maintainable. – Tom E Commented May 27, 2009 at 2:15

Software Test Automation is a big topic, and you may want to narrow your focus rather than attempt to cover a mix of frameworks, playback/record, overview of techniques, automated vs. not.

Entire books have been written about software test automation:

As a general topic
Focusing on functional/feature tests (FIT)
Focusing on unit tests
Focusing on unit tests using one particular language and framework

Frameworks are aimed at different types of testing:

Test-Driven Development
Behavior-Driven Development
Feature/Functional testing
GUI testing (Windows, Java GUIs, X Windows, etc.)
Web testing
Performance Testing
Security Testing

I would consider focusing on frameworks (or techniques, or whatever) in one of these areas rather than trying to cover them all. Or pick a couple of these areas and contrast them.

The issue of playback/record vs. handwritten tests seems old to me. In the 1980's vendors liked to push playback/record for Windows GUI automation. It made for great demos and high hopes. But it also made for brittle tests and shelfware. Playback/record is nice to get you started with a tool, but to be maintainable, you generally need scripts written at a higher level. That ushered in a new era of spreadsheet and keyword-based approaches, and eventually FIT/FitNesse.

In fairness, quite a few Masters programs are very accepting of this sort of survey thesis. – Bob Cross Commented May 19, 2009 at 17:40
Thank you for your comment! I added some Details to my original Question, i was so focussed on my topic that i forgot that there are other methods of Test Automation instead of GUI Testing. – Paul Weber Commented May 19, 2009 at 17:43

I don't know about literature, but I think the ACM publications in your school library would probably produce results. Particularly the SIG* newsletters . (Perhaps SIGSOFT ?)

It does sound like a good Master's thesis to me. Of course your thesis advisor is the final word on that. You should go talk to them.

As a literature-based review, this makes an excellent topic; there's plenty of material out there. Obviously I'm not going to start to get into all the details of that, since that's your job as the author. :-)

However, though I'm not familiar with the original research requirements for a master's thesis, this certainly wouldn't be enough for a PhD thesis. I would look for original work you could add to this. One idea would be a taxonomy of testing methods and systems. You might also examine the role of testing as compared to formal verification.

Yes, most terminal master's programs in North America do not require empirical research. Mine did not. A literature survey that takes a few stands is usually fine. This is a 3-6 credit project, not a 21+ credit project. :-) – Matthew Heusser Commented Mar 13, 2016 at 2:44

I'd be interested in reading the thesis if it's available online. Worth considering programmatic access to GUI - both web and application. Then there's record and playback tools like Selenium or WatiR. And of course the pros and cons of automation - limitations of the tools (most can't see into java applets or flash on webpages, for example) and the most important thing some people forget when automating - NOT everything should be automated!

But if at all possible for you to comment on this to notify us when it's done, I'd genuinely like a read.

An excellent book on test automation has just been published this year: “Implementing Automated Testing”, Elfriede Dustin, Thom Garrett & Bernie Gauf, Addison Wesley.

What are Software Engineer Research Topics?

Software engineer research topics are areas of exploration and study in the rapidly evolving field of software engineering. These research topics include various software development approaches, quality of software, testing of software, maintenance of software, security measures for software, machine learning models in software engineering, DevOps, and architecture of software. Each of these software engineer research topics has distinct problems and opportunities for software engineers to investigate and make major contributions to the field. In short, research topics for software engineering provide possibilities for software engineers to investigate new technologies, approaches, and strategies for developing and managing complex software systems.

For example, research on agile software development could identify the benefits and drawbacks of using agile methodology, as well as develop new techniques for effectively implementing agile practices. Software testing research may explore new testing procedures and tools, as well as assess the efficacy of existing ones. Software quality research may investigate the elements that influence software quality and develop approaches for enhancing software system quality and minimizing the faults and errors. Software metrics are quantitative measures that are used to assess the quality, maintainability, and performance of software.

The research papers on software engineering topics in this specific area could identify novel measures for evaluating software systems or techniques for using metrics to improve the quality of software. The practice of integrating code changes into a common repository and pushing code changes to production in small, periodic batches is known as continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). This research could investigate the best practices for establishing CI/CD or developing tools and approaches for automating the entire CI/CD process.

1. Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering

a. Intersections between AI and SE

The creation of AI-powered software engineering tools is one potential research area at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and software engineering. These technologies use AI techniques that include machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision to help software engineers with a variety of tasks throughout the software development lifecycle. An AI-powered code review tool, for example, may automatically discover potential flaws or security vulnerabilities in code, saving developers a lot of time and lowering the chance of human error. Similarly, an AI-powered testing tool might build test cases and analyze test results automatically to discover areas for improvement.

Furthermore, AI-powered project management tools may aid in the planning and scheduling of projects, resource allocation, and risk management in the project. AI can also be utilized in software maintenance duties such as automatically discovering and correcting defects or providing code refactoring solutions. However, the development of such tools presents significant technical and ethical challenges, such as the necessity of large amounts of high-quality data, the risk of bias present in AI algorithms, and the possibility of AI replacing human jobs. Continuous study in this area is therefore required to ensure that AI-powered software engineering tools are successful, fair, and responsible.

b. Knowledge-based Software Engineering

Another study area that overlaps with AI and software engineering is knowledge-based software engineering (KBSE). KBSE entails creating software systems capable of reasoning about knowledge and applying that knowledge to enhance software development processes. The development of knowledge-based systems that can help software engineers in detecting and addressing complicated problems is one example of KBSE in action. To capture domain-specific knowledge, these systems use knowledge representation techniques such as ontologies, and reasoning algorithms such as logic programming or rule-based systems to derive new knowledge from already existing data.

KBSE can be utilized in the context of AI and software engineering to create intelligent systems capable of learning from past experiences and applying that information to improvise future software development processes. A KBSE system, for example, may be used to generate code based on previous code samples or to recommend code snippets depending on the requirements of a project.

2. Natural Language Processing

a. Multimodality

Multimodality in Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the appealing research ideas for software engineering at the nexus of computer vision, speech recognition, and NLP. The ability of machines to comprehend and generate language from many modalities, such as text, speech, pictures, and video, is referred to as multimodal NLP. The goal of multimodal NLP is to develop systems that can learn from and interpret human communication across several modalities, allowing them to engage with humans in more organic and intuitive ways.

The building of conversational agents or chatbots that can understand and create responses using several modalities is one example of multimodal NLP in action. These agents can analyze text input, voice input, and visual clues to provide more precise and relevant responses, allowing users to have a more natural and seamless conversational experience. Furthermore, multimodal NLP can be used to enhance language translation systems, allowing them to more accurately and effectively translate text, speech, and visual content.

b. Efficiency

The development of multimodal NLP systems must take efficiency into account. as multimodal NLP systems require significant computing power to process and integrate information from multiple modalities, optimizing their efficiency is critical to ensuring that they can operate in real-time and provide users with accurate and timely responses. Developing algorithms that can efficiently evaluate and integrate input from several modalities is one method for improving the efficiency of multimodal NLP systems.

Overall, efficiency is a critical factor in the design of multimodal NLP systems. Researchers can increase the speed, precision, and scalability of these systems by inventing efficient algorithms, pre-processing approaches, and hardware architectures, allowing them to run successfully and offer real-time replies to consumers. Software Engineering training will help you level up your career and gear up to land you a job in the top product companies as a skilled Software Engineer.

The mining of software engineering data is one of the significant research paper topics for software engineering, involving the application of data mining techniques to extract insights from enormous datasets that are generated during software development processes. The purpose of mining software engineering data is to uncover patterns, trends, and various relationships that can inform software development practices, increase software product quality, and improve software development process efficiency.

Mining software engineering data, despite its potential benefits, has various obstacles, including the quality of data, scalability, and privacy of data. Continuous research in this area is required to develop more effective data mining techniques and tools, as well as methods for ensuring data privacy and security, to address these challenges. By tackling these issues, mining software engineering data can continue to promote many positive aspects in software development practices and the overall quality of product.

b. Clustering and Text Mining

Clustering is a data mining approach that is used to group comparable items or data points based on their features or characteristics. Clustering can be used to detect patterns and correlations between different components of software, such as classes, methods, and modules, in the context of software engineering data.

On the other hand, text mining is a method of data mining that is used to extract valuable information from unstructured text data such as software manuals, code comments, and bug reports. Text mining can be applied in the context of software engineering data to find patterns and trends in software development processes

4. Data Modeling

Data modeling is an important area of research paper topics in software engineering study, especially in the context of the design of databases and their management. It involves developing a conceptual model of the data that a system will need to store, organize, and manage, as well as establishing the relationships between various data pieces. One important goal of data modeling in software engineering research is to make sure that the database schema precisely matches the system's and its users' requirements. Working closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and identify the data items that are most essential to them is necessary.

5. Verification and Validation

Verification and validation are significant research project ideas for software engineering research because they help us to ensure that software systems are correctly built and suit the needs of their users. While most of the time, these terms are frequently used interchangeably, they refer to distinct stages of the software development process. The process of ensuring that a software system fits its specifications and needs is referred to as verification. This involves testing the system to confirm that it behaves as planned and satisfies the functional and performance specifications. In contrast, validation is the process of ensuring that a software system fulfils the needs of its users and stakeholders.

This includes ensuring that the system serves its intended function and meets the requirements of its users. Verification and validation are key components of the software development process in software engineering research. Researchers can help to improve the functionality and dependability of software systems, minimize the chance of faults and mistakes, and ultimately develop better software products for their consumers by verifying that software systems are designed correctly and that they satisfy the needs of their users.

6. Software Project Management

Software project management is an important component of software engineering research because it comprises the planning, organization, and control of resources and activities to guarantee that software projects are finished on time, within budget, and to the needed quality standards. One of the key purposes of software project management in research is to guarantee that the project's stakeholders, such as users, clients, and sponsors, are satisfied with their needs. This includes defining the project's requirements, scope, and goals, as well as identifying potential risks and restrictions to the project's success.

7. Software Quality

The quality of a software product is defined as how well it fits in with its criteria, how well it performs its intended functions, and meets the needs of its consumers. It includes features such as dependability, usability, maintainability, effectiveness, and security, among others. Software quality is a prominent and essential research topic in software engineering. Researchers are working to provide methodologies, strategies, and tools for evaluating and improving software quality, as well as forecasting and preventing software faults and defects. Overall, software quality research is a large and interdisciplinary field that combines computer science, engineering, and statistics. Its mission is to increase the reliability, accessibility, and overall quality of software products and systems, thereby benefiting both software developers and end consumers.

8. Ontology

Ontology is a formal specification of a conception of a domain used in computer science to allow knowledge sharing and reuse. Ontology is a popular and essential area of study in the context of software engineering research. The construction of ontologies for specific domains or application areas could be a research topic in ontology for software engineering. For example, a researcher may create an ontology for the field of e-commerce to give common knowledge and terminology to software developers as well as stakeholders in that domain. The integration of several ontologies is another intriguing study topic in ontology for software engineering. As the number of ontologies generated for various domains and applications grows, there is an increasing need to integrate them in order to enable interoperability and reuse.

9. Software Models

In general, a software model acts as an abstract representation of a software system or its components. Software models can be used to help software developers, different stakeholders, and users communicate more effectively, as well as to properly evaluate, design, test, and maintain software systems. The development and evaluation of modeling languages and notations is one research example connected to software models. Researchers, for example, may evaluate the usefulness and efficiency of various modeling languages, such as UML or BPMN, for various software development activities or domains.

Researchers could also look into using software models for software testing and verification. They may investigate how models might be used to produce test cases or to do model checking, a formal technique for ensuring the correctness of software systems. They may also examine the use of models for monitoring at runtime and software system adaptation.

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a software engineering process for planning, designing, developing, testing, and deploying software systems. SDLC is an important research issue in software engineering since it is used to manage software projects and ensure the quality of the resultant software products by software developers and project managers. The development and evaluation of novel software development processes is one SDLC-related research topic. SDLC research also includes the creation and evaluation of different software project management tools and practices.

Researchers may also check the implementation of SDLC in specific sectors or applications. They may, for example, investigate the use of SDLC in the development of systems that are more safety-critical, such as medical equipment or aviation systems, and develop new processes or tools to ensure the safety and reliability of these systems. They may also look into using SDLC to design software systems in new sectors like the Internet of Things or in blockchain technology.

Why is Software Engineering Required?

Software engineering is necessary because it gives a systematic way to developing, designing, and maintaining reliable, efficient, and scalable software. As software systems have become more complicated over time, software engineering has become a vital discipline to ensure that software is produced in a way that is fully compatible with end-user needs, reliable, and long-term maintainable.

When the cost of software development is considered, software engineering becomes even more important. Without a disciplined strategy, developing software can result in overinflated costs, delays, and a higher probability of errors that require costly adjustments later. Furthermore, software engineering can help reduce the long-term maintenance costs that occur by ensuring that software is designed to be easy to maintain and modify. This can save money in the long run by lowering the number of resources and time needed to make software changes as needed.

2. Scalability

Scalability is an essential factor in software development, especially for programs that have to manage enormous amounts of data or an increasing number of users. Software engineering provides a foundation for creating scalable software that can evolve over time. The capacity to deploy software to diverse contexts, such as cloud-based platforms or distributed systems, is another facet of scalability. Software engineering can assist in ensuring that software is built to be readily deployed and adjusted for various environments, resulting in increased flexibility and scalability.

3. Large Software

Developers can break down huge software systems into smaller, simpler parts using software engineering concepts, making the whole system easier to maintain. This can help to reduce the software's complexity and makes it easier to maintain the system over time. Furthermore, software engineering can aid in the development of large software systems in a modular fashion, with each module doing a specific function or set of functions. This makes it easier to push new features or functionality to the product without causing disruptions to the existing codebase.

4. Dynamic Nature

Developers can utilize software engineering techniques to create dynamic content that is modular and easily modifiable when user requirements change. This can enable adding new features or functionality to dynamic content easier without disturbing the existing codebase. Another factor to consider for dynamic content is security. Software engineering can assist in ensuring that dynamic content is generated in a secure manner that protects user data and information.

5. Better Quality Management

An organized method of quality management in software development is provided by software engineering. Developers may ensure that software is conceived, produced, and maintained in a way that fulfills quality requirements and provides value to users by adhering to software engineering principles. Requirement management is one component of quality management in software engineering. Testing and validation are another part of quality control in software engineering. Developers may verify that their software satisfies its requirements and is error-free by using an organized approach to testing.

In conclusion, the subject of software engineering provides a diverse set of research topics with the ability to progress the discipline while enhancing software development and maintenance procedures. This article has dived deep into various research topics in software engineering for masters and research topics for software engineering students such as software testing and validation, software security, artificial intelligence, Natural Language Processing, software project management, machine learning, Data Mining, etc. as research subjects.

Program Analysis
Software Visualization

We also offer a number of Master Thesis projects in collaboration with our industrial partners. Please contact Martin Pinzger or Christian Macho for more information.

Thesis proposal

The first step of any MSc thesis project is to write a thesis proposal. This document serves as a guide during and as a reference for your thesis project. A thesis proposal should contain

Brief introduction into the subject field
Scientific motivation for the project (why is it relevant?)
Research goal and list of (initial) research question(s) that will be addressed
Initial planning and staging of the project – what are the expected deliverables and milestones to reach them, when will you start/end. Deliverables are a prototype of a piece of software, an algorithm, an advice on how to treat a particular problem, a documented architecture, etc.
Risk analysis, or those (external) events that could have an impact on your planning
Contact details for the participants (student, supervisor, and when appropriate also the company supervisor)
Supervision details: generally an n-weekly schedule for meetings to discuss findings and progress that you’ve established togerther with your university (and company) supervisor(s).
When appropriate details regarding intellectual property and allowance (sometimes these are arranged in a separate legal contract)
List of courses that still need to be followed and/or final exams that need to be taken (not so much as guard for entering the thesis phase but to document a potential impact on the planning)

The proposal is written in English so international students can read, and build on, your work. It is important to note that the details and planning are not cast in stone for the complete duration of the thesis project. If initial results show that there are good reasons to improve on the initial ideas, then plans can be changed. In such a case, the proposal can be updated and serve as a track record that documents and motivates such changes.

How to write a Thesis?

Concerning structure and contents you might follow the guideline by Prof. John W. Chinneck’s web site.

Regarding the style of writing a Diploma Thesis we refer the student to the books:

“The Elements of Style”, Strunk and White.
“Writing for Computer Science” of Justin Zobel.

The web site of Prof. Henning Schulzrinne contains further useful hints that should be considered.

Q2 - Machine Learning for Software Engineering

The course will teach you to utilize advanced machine learning models such as CodeBERT and Code2Vec to handle complex input data, including code snippets and programs, with a focus on encoding, program representation, and performance evaluation. It aims to provide students with a deep understanding of a hands-on approach on how deep neural networks and NLP techniques are used to represent knowledge and solve existing Software Engineering problems in novel ways.

Q3 - Sustainable Software Engineering

Sustainable Software Engineering is an overarching discipline that addresses the long-term consequences of designing, building, and releasing a software project. By definition, sustainability covers five main perspectives: environmental, social, individual, economic, technical. This course focuses on the first, also known as Green Software Engineering. The course also covers fundamental aspects of social and individual sustainability of software projects. You will also learn how to measure other non-functional properties of trained models, including the response time, resource usage (e.g., memory) and energy footprint.

Q4 - Automated Software Testing and Reverse Engineering

Software is one of the most complex artifacts mankind has ever created, but complexity is the enemy of correctness. Modern software testing and validation tools use a multitude of techniques geared toward correct computer code, most of these are based on artificial intelligence. In this course, you will study these techniques in detail, specifically, you will gain an understanding of and implement execution monitoring and taint analysis, branch distance computation, hill-climbing and genetic algorithms, concrete and symbolic (concolic) execution, active state machine learning, and genetic programming.
