Towards Test Focus Selection for Integration Testing Using Software Metrics
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Object-oriented software systems contain a large number of modules which make the unit testing, integration testing, and system testing very difficult and challenging. While the aim of the unit testing is to show that ...
A Two-phase Security Mechanism for Anomaly Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been applied to a wide range of application areas, including battle fields, transportation systems, and hospitals. The security issues in WSNs are still hot research topics. The constrained ...
Addressing Off-Nominal Behaviors in Requirements for Embedded Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
System requirements are typically specified on the assumption that the system's operating environment will behave in what is considered to be an expected and nominal manner. When gathering requirements, one concern is ...
Understanding Contextual Factors in Regression Testing Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The software regression testing techniques of test case reduction, selection, and prioritization are widely used and well-researched in software development. They allow for more efficient utilization of scarce testing ...
Mining Structure Patterns Based on 3D Features in the Protein-DNA and Protein-protein Complex
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
For a long time, researchers have been searching for the “recognition codes” of protein complexes, which determine what DNA sequence or other protein a protein can bind to. The binding part prediction of protein complexes ...
Using Cyberlearning Environment to Improve Student’s Learning and Engagement in Introductory Computer Programming Courses
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
All Computer Science majors are required to take introductory programming (CS1) as a fundamental course which has a high dropout rate. Researchers report that CS1 students lack motivation and need constant resource support. ...
Towards Better Engineering of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
In spite of their high implementation failure rate, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software remains a popular choice for most businesses. When it succeeds, ERP software provides effective integration of formerly isolated ...
Adaptive Differential Evolution and its Application to Machine Vision
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Over recent years, Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) have emerged as a practical approach for solving hard optimization problems ubiquitously presented in real life. The inherent advantage of EA over other types of numerical ...
Adaptive Regression Testing Strategies for Cost-Effective Regression Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Regression testing is an important but expensive part of the software development life-cycle. Many different techniques have been proposed for reducing the cost of regression testing. To date, much research has been performed ...
Analyses of People’s Perceptions Toward Risks in Genetically Modified Organisms
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
This research aims to analyze people’s perceptions about the potential risks associated with the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products. We formulated research questions and hypotheses based on ...
