1 RCA on Residual defects - Techniques for adaptive Regression testing
2 Abstract Oneoftheimportantissuesassociated withasystem lifespanview thatwehaveignoredinpastyearsisthe efects of enduring defects defects that persist undetected acrossseveralreleasesofasystem.many studiesperformed to date have evaluated regression testingtechniquesunderthelimitedcontextsuchasshort term assessmentwhich do notfuly accountforthe industrybasedsolutions. Reportsestimate thatregression testing consumesas much as80% ofthe overaltesting budgetand can consumeupto50% ofthecostofsoftwaremaintenance. Researchershavedeveloped techniquesto addressthe numberofissuesrelated to regression testing.in this paperwehaveconcentratedonthethreeareas. First, techniquesthatcanhelptoreusethetestsuitescreated foronebuildandcategorizingthosetestcasesthatneed toberepeatedfortestingsubsequentreleasesandthe strategyforefectiveorderingforrunningthetestcases. Secondly techniques that wilreduce the regression testingtimebycreatingefectiveregressiontestsuites thattestthealteredmodules,byidentifyingtestcasesin theregressionsuitethatarenotneededtorerunonthe new buildandremovingobsoletetestcases. Finaly,techniquestorecovertestcasesbyidentifying, manipulating,andtransformingobsoletetestcases,by writingnew testcasesfrom oldones,andbyrepairing/ rewritingtestcaseswhenthesoftwareevolves. 2
3 Overview Software products undergo several processes like design,development, testingetc.beforetheygetintroduced into the market.even afteralthe phases,therearechanceswhereone ormoredefectspersistundetectedor missedduringthetestingphasefora longtimeandgetsleakedouttothe customers.when these defects are encountered by the customers this ultimately becomes a failure.such defectsaretermedresidualdefectas onemightknow. Withthesuccessoftesting,measured by the number of such Residual defects, the only solution being regression,how doesone go about doingitinthemostefectiveway? RootCauseAnalysisisperformedon those ResidualDefects to find the actualcauseofthefailure,thearea thatwasmissed out,the area that requiresmoreimportance,reasonfor failureetc.afterthisinvestigation,the result/inferencecanfeedinasthe scopeforregressiontesting.adaptive regression techniques can then be appliedtomaketestingandinturnthe productsuccessful. ResidualDefect Residualdefectisanimportantfactor thatdecidesthequalityofareleased product.incommon,itisimpossibleto findalthedefectswithinaperiodof time.residualdefectsmightafectthe successofthesoftwareproductsbased oneachorganization sbusinessgoals andthetypeofsystem.thiswilleave behindaverydissatisfiedcustomer. Post-release defect density ofa software product cannot be measureduntilithasbeenputinto production and used by the customers. This information becomesavailabletoolatetotake corective actions to software quality.softwaredefectscorection is significantly more expensive whenthedefectsareidentifiedby thecustomercomparedtodefects corection in the earlier developmentprocess. ResidualDefect Density(RDD) RDD is used to measure the Percentage ofapplication defects found in production.itinfluences thequalityoftheendproductto the customers. RDD gives the percentageofdefectsleakedtothe enduser. Formula TotalNoofPostProduction Defects TotalNoofTestCases Executed Aspertheformula Example =20 =250 =20/250*100 =8% (Ratio=0.08) Intheaboveformula, TotalNoof PostProductionDefects refersto althedefectsfoundafterdeploymentbutmissedduringtesting.residualdefectdensityisa Lower thebeter metric.itevidencesthe EfectivenessofTesting. 2

RCA,thoughagenericterm maynot havehardandfastrulesofaspecific template orstandards.thiscan be customisedinawaythatwilhelpthe tester arive at solid inferences / solutionsthatwilhelp in the next stages of defining your regression tests.thiswilin turn help reduce Residualdefectsthatare leaked to customers. EfectiveRCAdocumentationcanalso serveasoneofthevaluabletestartefactsandcanbebundledtogetheras partofthe testsummary /results report. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is addressingcausesratherthantreating thesymptoms.ifsomethingisbroken, insteadofjustfixingitatthepointof discovery,itisbeterto investigate and fixtheunderlying causeatthe point of origin itself.
