In-Depth Information
Bugzilla ( http://www.bugzilla.org/ ) is an open source defect tracking system.
Cohen, Dwyer, and Shi examined part of the user manual and established a com-
binatorial testing model, which has 52 factors:
2 49
3 1
4 2
(

)
. There are five
constraints in the documentation.
In the topic [ 11 ] (Chap. 5 , “Test Parameter Analysis”, by Eduardo Miranda), sev-
eral case studies are given:
a flexible manufacturing system, which involves a conveyor, a camera, a machine
vision system ,and a robotic arm subsystem. It picks up metal sheets of different
shapes, colors, and sizes, and puts them into appropriate bins.
an audio amplifier, which has two input jacks, two volume controls, two toggle
switches, and one three-way selection switch.
a password diagnoser for an online banking system, which verifies that the user
passwords conform to good security practices. For example, the length of a pass-
word should be at least eight (characters); a password should have at least one
uppercase character, one numeric character, and one special character.
