    Leveraging Genetic Algorithms for Efficient Search-Based Higher Order Mutation Testing
    (Slovak acad sciences inst informatics, 2024) Uzunbayır, Serhat; Kurtel, Kaan
    Higher order mutation testing is a type of white -box testing in which the source code is changed repeatedly using two or more mutation operators to generate mutated programs. The objective of this procedure is to improve the design and execution phases of testing by allowing testers to automatically evaluate their test cases. However, generating higher order mutants is challenging due to the large number of mutants needed and the complexity of the mutation search space. To address this challenge, the problem is modeled as a search problem. The purpose of this study is to propose a genetic algorithm-based search technique for mutation testing. The expected outcome is a reduction in the number of equivalent high order mutants produced, leading to a minimum number of mutant sets that produce an adequate mutation score. The experiments were carried out and the results were compared with a random search algorithm and four different versions of the proposed genetic algorithm which use different selection methods: roulette wheel, tournament, rank, and truncation selection. The results indicate that the number of equivalent mutants and the execution cost can be reduced using the proposed genetic algorithm with respect to the selection method.

    Evocolony: a Hybrid Approach To Search-Based Mutation Test Suite Reduction Using Genetic Algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization
    (Ismail Saritas, 2024) Uzunbayır, Serhat; Kurtel, K.
    The increasing complexity of software systems requires robust and efficient test suites to ensure software quality. In this context, mutation testing emerges as an invaluable method for evaluating a test suite’s the fault detection capability. Traditional approaches to test case generation and evaluation are often inadequate, particularly when applied to mutation testing, which aims to evaluate the quality of a test suite by introducing minor changes or mutations to the code. As software projects increase in scale, there is greater computational cost of employing exhaustive mutation testing techniques, leading to a need for more efficient approaches. Incorporating metaheuristics into the realm of mutation testing offers a synergistic advantage in optimizing test suites for better fault detection. Especially, combining test suite reduction methods with mutation testing produces a more computationally efficient approach compared to more exhaustive ones. This study presents a novel approach, called EvoColony, which combines intelligent search-based algorithms, specifically genetic algorithms and ant colony optimization, to reduce test cases and enhance the effectiveness of the test suit for mutation testing. Integrating both metaheuristic techniques, the research aims to optimize existing test suites, and to improve mutant detection with fewer test cases, thus improving the overall testing quality. The results of experiments conducted were compared with traditional methods, demonstrating the superior effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid approach. The findings show a significant advancement in test case reduction when using the hybrid algorithm with mutation testing methodologies, and thus ensure the quality of test suites. © 2024, Ismail Saritas.

    Quantifying Productivity of Individual Software Programmers: Practical Approach
    (Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2015) Ünlütürk, Mehmet Süleyman; Kurtel, Kaan
    Software measurement is a crucial part of a good software engineering. Software developers quantify the software to see if the use cases are complete, if the analysis model is consistent with requirements and if the code is ready to be tested. Software project managers assess the software process and the software product to determine if it is going to be finished on time and within budget. Customers evaluate the final product if it meets their needs. Overall, the main purpose of software engineering is to make software systems controllable and foreseeable, activities with a solid method rather than intuitional, complicated or unprincipled. Software measurement studies are about quantifying the software engineering entities and attributes, both of which aim to support software development efforts and quality improvement. In this paper, we quantify a set of relationships using the current size, defect and object-oriented software metrics practically and pragmatically. Our paper proposes a method to measure the productivity of individual software programmers. Furthermore, this method provides a common opinion for understanding, controlling and improving the software engineering practices.

    Benefits of Continuous Maintenance in Agile Software Development: a Case Study
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2020) Hondoroğlu, Görkem; Kurtel, Kaan
    Sürekli yazılım pratikleri, gelişmekte olan ve önemli bir yazılım mühendisliği alanıdır. Akademik dünya ve yazılım endüstrisi de bu sürekli yazılım pratiklerine giderek artan bir ilgi göstermektedir. Sürekli entegrasyon, sürekli dağıtım ve sürekli teslim bu ilgiyi görürken sürekli bakım gözden kaçmaktadır. Bu tezimde vurgulamak istediğim nokta; yazılım endüstrisin büyük ölçüde sürekli bakımın farkında olmamasıdır. Ancak, sürekli bakım; yazılım hayat döngüsünün ayrılmaz bir parçasıdır. Finans ve kalite bakış açısından bakarsak; yazılım ürününün üzerinde büyük etkisi vardır. Bu tezimde, Sürekli Bakım konusunu çevik yazılım geliştirme içerisinde ele alacağım. Yazılım mühendisliği açısında depo, genellikle verilerin saklandığı esas yerdir. Yazılım depoları geliştirme ve bakım aşamalarında, veri saklanmasına yardımcı olduğu gibi, sürüm kontrolleri ve çok kişilik ekiplerin kullanımına da yardımcı olur. Kötü yönetilen bir yazılım sistemi birçok soruna sebebiyet verebilir. Bunların başında; vakit ve iş gücü kaybı, kaynak kodu takibinin zorlaşması, deponun şişmesi ve sürüm kontrolünün zorlaşması gelebilir. Bunlara ek olarak, zayıf bir depo yönetimi bakım ve yazılım evriminin üzerinde olumsuz etki oluşturur. Sürekli yazılım mühendisliği pratikleri doğası gereği bu tarz problemlerle ilgilenmek konusunda hassastır. Ancak, sürekli yazılım mühendisliği özellikle de depo arşivleme ve yönetimi bu problemlerin üstesinden gelmek konusunda verimli bir çözüm sunabilir. Bu tezde, sürekli bakım sürecinin, çevik yazılım geliştirme içerisinde kullanımıyla birlikte kazanılacak kazançlar incelenip, sürekli bakım çalışmalarında olan sorunların bir parçası olan kod değişikliklerinin etkisini analiz etmeye çalışıp karşılaşılan etki analizi, hata takibi gibi zorlukları bir vaka çalışmasıyla belirlenecektir.

    Adaptive business device integration architecture: Event manager
    (2010) Ünlütürk, Mehmet Süleyman; Kurtel, Kaan
    Today's heterogeneous business environments are complex and highly collaborative in which several different types of business events shape. Many devices that coexist in the same business environment generate these events, and this situation requires better integration and real-time communication solutions. We propose a fully integrated communications network solution called Integrated Event Management System (IEMS) that provides a range of mechanisms to meet the individual requirements of the business environments. IEMS is a software product designed to improve the quality and management of any heterogeneous business environment such as Hospital Nurse Call System (HNCS). The functionality of this network is invaluable to offer communication solutions to everyone in the system. Some of those do not have fixed locations such as mobile personnel that are dependent on being alerted immediately anywhere. Furthermore, IEMS also provides protection for others that work in interview rooms. An alarm event can be sent to a team over Local Area Network (LAN), alerting them of an incident and the location in order to provide a rapid response.

    Application of Service-Oriented Context-Aware Architecture To Laundry Management System
    (Natl Inst R&D Informatics-Ici, 2017) Celikkan, Ufuk; Kurtel, Kaan
    The laundry cleaning on an industrial scale has become a highly automated process, carried out by machines using sensors generating very detailed data. Data from these sensors allow the precise control of the laundry operation, often remotely. The combination of new machines with information technology has created a more efficient and cost effective process, enabled by software based on extensible architecture. The operations of a laundry exhibit all the properties of a context-aware system. This paper extends the authors' earlier work on context-aware laundry management architecture emphasizing business processes. In this study, we present architectural details that will aid implementers of the system in their choice of tools, techniques and technologies. In particular, a detailed account of laundry context information is presented. The proposed architectural framework used in the solution is able to monitor and autonomously manage laundry operations. The system employs a layered architecture which allows the separation of system components such as data capture, data processing and business services. An inference and a rule engine help to orchestrate system activities and transmit system status to interested parties through an interface. Tight coupling of system components are eliminated by web services.

    An Extension To Existing Nurse Call Systems: Event Manager Server
    (2010) Ünlütürk, Mehmet Süleyman; Kurtel, Kaan
    For many years, hospital nurse call solutions had been stand-alone systems with occasional integration to pocket paging for outputting patient call alerts to mobile staff. During the early 1990's, the demand for nurse call activity reporting increased, as PCs became common place and customers began using them to support risk management and quality improvement processes. In the late 1990's, technology enabled in-building wireless phones to supplement or replace paging systems as a means of not only sending alerts, but also enabling voice communication between mobile staff and patients. Today's nurse call market requires integration of additional information from location and ADT (admit, discharge, transfer) systems into what have traditionally been nurse call applications. This system information is required not only at the nursing station, pagers, and phones, but also at PCs placed on each patient care floor in hallways, nurse stations, and offices, and at areas away from the patients, including administrator and clinical engineering offices. In this paper, event manager server (EMSrv) has been developed to facilitate this communication with the nurse call system.
