Recommendations
A large-scale longitudinal study of flaky tests
Flaky tests are tests that can non-deterministically pass or fail for the same code version. These tests undermine regression testing efficiency, because developers cannot easily identify whether a test fails due to their recent changes or due to ...
Large Nearly Regular Induced Subgraphs
For a real $c \geq 1$ and an integer $n$, let $f(n,c)$ denote the maximum integer $f$ such that every graph on $n$ vertices contains an induced subgraph on at least $f$ vertices in which the maximum degree is at most $c$ times the minimum degree. Thus, ...
Test Integration for SOC Supporting Very Low-Cost Testers
ATS '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Asian Test SymposiumTo reduce test cost for SOC products, it is important to reduce the cost of testers. When using low-cost testers which have a limited test bandwidth to perform testing, Built-In- Self-Test (BIST) is necessary to reduce the data volume to be transmitted ...
