Prof. Andreas Zeller of Saarland University has prepared excellent lecture slides using some of the materials from chapters 10, 11, and 12, and his own materials.
Please contact Prof. Zeller to request Keynote or Powerpoint versions of his slides.
More slides are in preparation. Instructors may request draft slides by email if you would like them in their currrent rough state. Please include a URL for yourself or your course. Sorry, we provide drafts only to instructors.
Useful Web Sites
- Open Source Testing Tools links to a variety of tools that are available to students. Some are useful for classroom and project use, others less so.
- Pairwise.org is a site devoted to pairwise (combinatorial) testing. It lists several tools (both commercial and open source) and links to some articles.
- Spin is an open-source, explicit state model checker. It is widely used, and is the example model checker in Chapter 8. In our experience it can be used for classroom projects, but students need a lot of guidance to build appropriately abstract models.
- Alloy is the name of a notation and a checker for that notation. The current version of the Alloy Analyzer uses a different notation than that described in Chapter 8. Others have used Alloy in courses.
