  • Publication number: 20150106653
    Abstract: Method, apparatus and product for test selection based on domination criterion. In some embodiments, excluding from a test suite dominated tests, each of which is dominated by a predetermined number of dominating tests, wherein a dominated test is dominated by a dominating test if each target that is covered by the dominated test is also covered by the dominating test. In some embodiments, a reduced test suite is determined by excluding from a test suite each test that covers a dominated set of targets that is N-dominated by the reduced test suite, wherein a dominated set of targets is N-dominated by a set of tests if each target in the dominated set of targets is covered by at least N tests in the set of tests, wherein N is a predetermined number greater than one.

  • Patent number: 8990626
    Abstract: An apparatus and computer-implemented method for determining relevance of assignments in combinatorial models, the method comprising: receiving an attribute collection, the attribute collection comprising one or more attributes and one or more possible values for each of attributes; receiving pone or more restrictions, each restriction indicating one or more values for one or more attributes; receiving one or more assignments comprising one or more assigned values for one or more of the attributes; and determining whether the assignment is legal, illegal or partially-legal, wherein an illegal assignment is an assignment which violates a constraint by itself; a legal assignment is an assignment which is not illegal, and for every extension thereof which is illegal, a combination of values assigned to other attributes violates a constraint by itself; and a partially-legal assignment is an assignment which is neither legal nor illegal.

  • Publication number: 20140236564
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, an apparatus and a computer program product for instrumentation coverage. The method comprising: determining an instrumentation coverage model of a system having components, the instrumentation coverage model defining instrumentation tasks of the system, wherein each instrumentation task defines a subset of the components to be monitored; and monitoring the system by a computer, wherein during said monitoring applying a plurality of partial instrumentation tasks defining strict subsets of the components to be monitored.
