In order to use the proposed tool, the tester annotates the files that contain the class to be tested. Moreover, the tester must specify the test data coverage criterion to be used, either branch coverage or mutation analysis. However, the tool is then integrated into the JavaScript compiler and test generation is invoked by a command line option. Also, the code to be tested is parsed into an abstract syntax tree from which the test tool generates a program dependency graph for the function under test. However, if mutation analysis coverage is required, the abstract syntax tree for a meta-mutant program is also generated. To provide guidance for the test data search, the function under test instrumented in accordance with the coverage criterion. Branch predicate expressions are always instrumented, in the case of mutation coverage, mutated statements are also instrumented. Compilation then continues from the modified abstract syntax tree to generate instrumented executables that were loaded into the test data search module. Acknowledgment The researcher would like to express their gratitude to the anonymous referees for their valuable and helpful comments and suggestions in improving the study. Problem Program testing is expensive and labor intensive, often consuming more than statement half of the total development costs, and yet it is frequently not done well and the results are not always satisfactory. Conclusion By having a complete automation it reduces the cost of software testing dramatically and also facilitates continuous testing. It is reported that at least 50% of the total software development costs is due to testing, and 10–15% of development time is wasted due to frequent stops for regression testing. Automation will also help get rid of cognitive biases that have been found in human testers.

Objective

The purpose of this paper is to present an automatic test data generation tool that aims to completely automate unit testing of JavaScript functions.

Results

The experiment done in our study by using the proposed tool for branch coverage shows that the most effective result for string equality was obtained using the edit distance fitness function, while no significant difference was found in the fitness function for string ordering. Through exhaustive mulation coverage 8% are found to be equivalent.

B) The following text corresponds to an introduction section of a research article. 1. Introduction The emergence of web 2.0 has initiated a new era of collaboration, sharing, and social networking (Lytras, Damiani, & de Pablos, 2008). One of the most popular technologies in web 2.0, Cloud Computing (CC) systems, provide on-demand network-based access to subscribers for the metered usage of an easily accessible and secure collection of remotely available information technology (IT) enabled resources and capabilities including network, servers, storage, applications and services (Armbrust et al., 2009). Further, Cloud Computing (CC) is defined by Subashini and Kavitha (2011) as “a way to increase the capacity or add capabilities dynamically without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software”. These services include IT infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) on a pay-for-use basis (Rayport & Heyward, 2009). This computing paradigm seeks to deliver computing services similar to utility services such as water, electricity and gas (Buyya, Yeo, Venugopal, Broberg, & Brandic, 2009). The limitless flexibility, better reliability and security provided by CC enables organizations customize services and data for higher availability without much worry (AMD, 2011). The emergence of cloud computing creates a level playing field for many firms by providing opportunities for utilizing cutting edge information technologies that hitherto were not affordable due to the high cost of owning these technologies (Marston, Li, Bandyopadhyay, Zhang, & Ghalsasi, 2011). The synergy from the integration of big data technologies and cloud computing constitutes the basis for future computing (Agrawal, Das, & El Abbadi, 2011).

1. Provide a definition: Look at the words in yellow. Find its meaning on the dictionary, but provide your own explanation of its meaning in context. In order words, do not copy paste the meaning from a dictionary, analyze the context to provide the best meaning. (5 points)  Metered: It means measurement, in the past, nevertheless under the context measures the distance between the people, it measures a quality or characteristic  Further: Make a new technology accessible to all people and provide the tools to use  level playing field: Creates a fair competition between a small and large company,  hitherto: At that time there was no such technology as the current one  due to: It means why or in consequence of

2. Deduction: What does the author means when staying this: “This computing paradigm seeks to deliver computing services similar to utility services such as water, electricity and gas (Buyya, Yeo, Venugopal, Broberg, & Brandic, 2009)”. (2 points) I think that the author makes reference to the fact that the internet would become a basic public service over the years, and that this would be the driving force to move the world, made for all people, having access to real information and at the moment, it is the same Principle of free access to books and education, used in a good

3. –ing. The use of –ing has many rules and meanings. Analyze the following samples from the text and explain a possible rule for using –ing. (1 point) A. Providing: simple form (provide) termination -e is deleted and placed -ing B. To possess: the simple form (own) ends in consonant only the -ing is added C. To use: the simple form terminates in -e (use) removes the e and is replaced by -ing D. Without investing: the simple form ending in consonant (investing) only the -ing is added 4. Punctuation. Commas are very important tools to provide coherence and cohesion to a text. Analyze the following examples of the text, and find online the rule for using a comma in that part. Provide an extra example that demonstrates the rule.
