[BA] Systematic Refactoring of a Test Suite Generation Approach for BRISE Multiple Product Line

Test suite generation for Software Product Lines is an important and a well-established research area. BRISE-MPL is a multiple product line for expensive blackbox optimization, developed at the chair of software technology. In its current version, BRISE possesses a partially automated test suite generation approach with a monolithic architecture.

The goal of this thesis is to systematically refactor the test suite generation approach for BRISE-MPL, improving its automation, modularity and effectiveness assessment. To reach this goal the following tasks need to be accomplished.

• Analyze the current test suite of BRISE-MPL and perform requirements engineering.
• Examine state-of-the-art approaches for software testing and software product line testing based on the identified requirements.
• Propose a new test suite generation architecture for BRISE-MPL, improving its automation, modularization, feature coverage and effectiveness assessment.
• Implement the proposed approach and integrate it into BRISE-MPL.
• Evaluate the novel approach against the existing test suite generation approach of BRISE-MPL.
