Abstract:
The adaptation of paper-and-pencil tests to computers may be confounded by differences between the medium of paper-and-pencil and computers. The purpose of this study was to adapt the Hidden Figures Test for use on PLATO and determine the alternate-form reliability of the computerized version as compared to the paper-and-pencil version. The HFT is one of the most commonly used tests to measure the cognitive style known as field independence-field dependence. The results showed that the test could be adapted with some modifications and that a significant relationship was found between scores on the two versions of the test, though the total amount of variance explained between the tests was low. The results suggest that the computerized version may be measuring computer anxiety, perception of computer generated figures, and previous experience with a keyboard, as well as the construct under study.

Abstract:
Reliability engineering is relatively new scientific discipline which develops in close connection with computers. Rapid development of computer technology recently requires adequate novelties of source codes and appropriate software. New parallel computing technology based on HPC (high performance computing) for availability calculation will be demonstrated in this paper. The technology is particularly effective in context with simulation methods; nevertheless, analytical methods are taken into account as well. In general, basic algorithms for reliability calculations must be appropriately modified and improved to achieve better computation efficiency. Parallel processing is executed by two ways, firstly by the use of the MATLAB function parfor and secondly by the use of the CUDA technology. The computation efficiency was significantly improved which is clearly demonstrated in numerical experiments performed on selected testing examples as well as on industrial example. Scalability graphs are used to demonstrate reduction of computation time caused by parallel computing.

Abstract:
At present, computer security is the flourishing field in the IT industry. Nowadays, the usage of computers and the Internet grows drastically, and hence, computers become vehicles for the attackers to spread viruses and worms, to distribute spam and spyware, and to perform denial-of-service attacks, etc. The IT engineers (even users) should know about network security threats, and at the same time, to some extent, they should know techniques to overcome the issues. The reliability and privacy of healthcare records of the patients are the most critical issue in the healthcare business industry sector. The security safeguards, such as physical, technical, and administrative safeguards, are crucial in protecting the information in all aspects. This article deals with the forty popular hospital portals in India related to the professional and network security related issues such as operating system guesses, number of open/closed/filtered ports, the name of the Web server, etc. The Nmap (network mapper) tool is used to analyze the results belong to the security perspective.

Abstract:
Patching service provides software firms an option to deal with the leftover bugs and is thereby helping them to keep a track of their product. More and more software firms are making use of this concept of prolonged testing. But this framework of releasing unprepared software in market involves a huge risk. The hastiness of vendors in releasing software patch at times can be dangerous as there are chances that firms release an infected patch. The infected patch (es) might lead to a hike in bug occurrence and error count and might make the software more vulnerable. The current work presents an understanding of such situation through mathematical modeling framework; wherein, the distinct behavior of testers (during in-house testing and field testing) and users is described. The proposed model has been validated on two software failure data sets of Tandem Computers and Brazilian Electronic Switching System, TROPICO R-1500.

Abstract:
Today wireless technology grows rapidly, especially in the field of telecommunications and communications. Computer networks now widely utilizes wireless. Wireless Mesh Network is one of the method which is use to communicate computer wirelessly. One important factor in application of wireless network is how to extend wireless signal coverage. Wireless Distribution System is one way to expand the wireless network by mean of wireless interconnection of access point on the network IEEE 8022.11. This study suggests how to build a simple wireless computer network using WDS technology and describes connectivity performance and its signal coverage. The test result of connectivity performance shows that the connectivity between two computers work properly for reliability and multi SSID testing. However, the connectivity was not success in multichannel testing. Furthermore the test result of coverage shows that the range of wireless signal coverage reaches 39 meters with different circumstance room.

Abstract:
Purpose Cognitive ability tests demonstrate strong relationships with job performance, but have several limitations; notably, subgroup differences based on race/ethnicity. As an alternative, the purpose of this paper is to develop a working memory assessment for personnel selection contexts. Design/methodology/approach The authors describe the development of Global Adaptive Memory Evaluation (G.A.M.E.) – a working memory assessment – along with three studies focused on refining and validating G.A.M.E., including examining test-taker reactions, reliability, subgroup differences, construct and criterion-related validity, and measurement equivalence across computer and mobile devices. Findings Evidence suggests that G.A.M.E. is a reliable and valid tool for employee selection. G.A.M.E. exhibited convergent validity with other cognitive assessments, predicted job performance, yielded smaller subgroup differences than traditional cognitive ability tests, was engaging for test-takers, and upheld equivalent measurement across computers and mobile devices. Research limitations/implications Additional research is needed on the use of working memory assessments as an alternative to traditional cognitive ability testing, including its advantages and disadvantages, relative to other constructs and methods. Practical implications The findings illustrate working memory’s potential as an alternative to traditional cognitive ability assessments and highlight the need for cognitive ability tests that rely on modern theories of intelligence and leverage burgeoning mobile technology. Originality/value This paper highlights an alternative to traditional cognitive ability tests, namely, working memory assessments, and demonstrates how to design reliable, valid, engaging and mobile-compatible versions.

Abstract:
In today's technologically advanced world, everyone depends on the continued working of a widevarietyofproductslikecomplexmachinery and equipment for theireverydayrequirements pertaining to health, safety, mobility, and economic welfare. We expect our cars, computers, electrical appliances, lights, televisions, etc., to function whenever we need them — day after day, year after year. When they fail, the results can be catastrophic: injury, loss of life or may be some costly lawsuits. More often, repeated failure leads to annoyance, inconvenience, and a lasting customer dissatisfaction that can have an adverse impact on the company's position in the marketplace. It takes a long time for a company to build up a reputation for reliability and only a short time to be branded as ‘unreliable’ after shipping a flawed product. Continual assessment of new product reliability and ongoing control of the reliability of everything shipped are critical necessities in today's competitive marketplace. The mean and variance of an exponentially distributed random variable are of interest in numerous life and reliability testing problems as measures of various characteristics like expected life, failure rate, reliability, future mean, etc., and, thus, it is of practical importance to estimate these unknown parameters. Situations frequently arise where one has an initial estimate that combines reasoning with guessing called the guesstimate. The guesstimate may be based on a calculation of sample observations or a conjecture that comes from past experience about similar situations involving similar parameter or from the association with the experimental material or from any reliable source. It is in the form of a point value arising from either statistical investigation or sources other than that and thus should also be incorporated in any of the estimation procedure. This paper is intended to propose some improved estimators by considering guesstimate and thereby employing the results in the estimation of mean and variance in an accelerated life testing experiment of breaking strength of transformer oil at different voltage levels. The approach is very generic and the suggested estimators are shown to be better than the other estimators in the sense of having a smaller mean squared error as well as a smaller bias.

Abstract:
There are a multitude of applications using modern tablet computers for vision testing that are accessible to ophthalmology patients. While these may be of potential future benefit, they are often unsupported by scientific assessment. This report investigates the pertinent physical characteristics behind one of the most common highest specification tablet computers with regard to its capacity for vision testing. We demonstrate through plotting of a gamma curve that it is feasible to produce a precise programmable range of central luminance levels on the device, even with varying background luminance levels. It may not be possible to display very low levels of contrast, but carefully using the gamma curve information allows a reasonable range of contrast sensitivity to be tested. When the screen is first powered on, it may require up to 15 min for the luminance values to stabilize. Finally, luminance of objects varies towards the edge of the screen and when viewed at an angle. However, the resulting effective contrast of objects is less variable. Details of our assessments are important to developers, users and prescribers of tablet clinical vision tests. Without awareness of such findings, these tests may never reach satisfactory levels of clinical validity and reliability.

Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic since early 2020 in Indonesia, the demand for electrical energy in the housing sector has increased significantly. This is due to the government’s recommendation to reduce activities on the outside and work from home, specifically for educational and entertainment activities. Those are almost recommended to be done online. Many people complain about the increase in monthly electricity payments compared to before the pandemic. The construction of solar power plants in housing/solar home systems (SHS) will reduce the electricity consumption from the public grid. This SHS installation can be used to supply some household electricity needs, such as computers, televisions, internet facilities, lighting, et cetera. In this article, the researchers discuss the performance testing of SHS with a capacity of 300 Wp. It is installed in the house buildings accompanied by the design and measurement of solar energy potential.

Abstract:
As the trends in green manufacturing, miniaturization, and enhanced functionality of electronics devices continue without any sign of slowing down, the reliability of lead free solder joints with diminishing size has become more and more a challenge to the design engineers and the electronics manufacturing industry. In order to predict the reliability of solder joints accurately, it is necessary to develop test techniques to test solder joints efficiently under conditions that are comparable to those in application environment. In this day and age when computer simulation has become an indispensable tool in many areas, it is also very important that suitable material models are available for solder materials so that virtual design tools can be used to predict device reliability performance accurately. In this work, the aim was to develop vibration and cyclic shear test methods and equipment, and to use computer modelling techniques in the analysis of lead free solder joints in microelectronics devices, and to develop an inverse Finite Element technique and experimental data to obtain constitutive laws for lead-free solder alloys. In the development of the vibration test machine, a prototype test machine that uses piezoelectric cell as actuators for the loading was modelled using the Finite Element Analysis method, and the behaviours of the test specimen which is similar to a BGA solder joint in dimensions was analysed. The static and dynamic response of the equipment was modelled and compared with experimental results. A novel multi-joint test specimen in which the solder deformation is similar to that in solder joints of BGAs that are under thermal loading was analysed so that test results can be interpreted and the specimens and loading conditions can be improved. The response of the joints reinforced the understanding that the interface of the solder and the copper or printed circuit board is the mostly likely region for crack growth and hence failure of the package. In the inverse Finite Element Analysis of solder joints, cyclic shear test data and Finite Element Analysis methods were used to improve the Anand's visco-plastic constitutive law for the SAC solder specimens under the test conditions. To reduce the possibility of spurious experimental data skewing the entire analysis, a technique was employed that uses limited experimental datasets in determining the material parameters. Simulation results using the new constitutive law showed significant improvement in accuracy. The main contribution of this research work to the manufacturing, testing and virtual design of solder joints can be summarised as follows: (1) A unique dedicated high cycle fatigue test equipment that is especially suited for testing very small solder joints and other surface mounted technologies under vibration conditions has been successfully designed, and manufactured. This is expected to enhance the capability of the industry in solder joint tests. (2) The behaviours of individual solder joints in a BGA-like multi-joint test specimen under isothermal cyclic loading condition have been characterised making the prediction of solder properties more accurate and efficient. (3) A novel procedure that is based on inverse Finite Element Analysis to obtain nonlinear creep parameters of, for example, Anand’s model, has been proposed and demonstrated. This method reduces the effect of spurious dataset, the high reliance of the skill of the individuals who perform the analysis and makes it possible for small institutions with limited resources to obtain the necessary model parameters for virtual product design and reliability analysis.

The calculation of reliability based on running test cases refers to the probability of the software not generating faulty output consequent to the testing process. The metric used to measure this reliability is referred in terms of E(Θ) value. The concept of E(Θ) gives precise formulae to calculate the probability of failure of software after testing, debug or operational. This report aims at extending the functionalities of E(Θ) into the realm of multiple faults spread across multiple sub-domains. This generalization involves introduction of a new set of formulae for E(Θ) calculation which can account for faults spread over both single as well as multiple sub-domains in a code. The validity of the formulae is verified by matching the obtained theoretical results against the empirical data generated from running a test case simulator. The report further examines the possibility of an upper bound calculation on the derived formulae and its possible ramifications.

Many models have been proposed for software reliability prediction, but none of these models could capture a necessary amount of software characteristic. We have proposed a mixed approach using both analytical and data driven models for finding the accuracy in reliability prediction involving case study. This report includes qualitative research strategy. Data is collected from the case study conducted on three different companies. Based on the case study an analysis will be made on the approaches used by the companies and also by using some other data related to the organizations Software Quality Assurance (SQA) team. Out of the three organizations, the first two organizations used for the case study are working on reliability prediction and the third company is a growing company developing a product with less focus on quality. Data collection was by the means of interviewing an employee of the organization who leads a team and is in the managing position for at least last 2 years.

Thesis (DPhil (Informatics))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018.
Increasingly, organisations in South African and across the world rely on software for various reasons, such as competitiveness and sustainability. The software are either developed in-house or purchased from the shelf. Irrespective of how the software was acquired, they do encounter challenges, from implementation to support, and use stages. The challenges sometimes hinder and are prohibitive to processes and activities that the software is intended to enable and support. Majority of the challenges that are encountered with software are attributed to the fact that they were not tested or appropriately tested before implementation. Some of the challenges has been costly to many organisations, particularly in South Africa. As a result, some organisations have been lacking in their efforts toward growth, competitiveness and sustainability. The challenges manifest from the fact that there are no testing tools and methods that can be easily customised for an organisation’s purposes. As a result, some organisations adopt more tools and methods for the same testing purposes, which has not solved the problem, as the challenges continue among South Africa organisations. Based on the challenges as stated above, this study was undertaken. The aim was to develop a decision support system framework, which can be used for software testing by any organisation, owing to its flexibility for customisation. The interpretivist and inductive approaches were employed. The qualitative methods and the case study design approach were applied. Three South African organisations, a private, public and small to medium enterprise (SME) were used as cases in this study. A set of criteria was used to select the organisations. The analysis of the data was guided by two sociotechnical theories, actor network theory (ANT) and diffusion of innovation (DOI). The theories were complementarily applied because of their different focuses. The actor network theory focuses on actors, which are both human and non-human, heterogeneity of networks, and the relationship between the actors within networks. This includes the interactions that happen at different moments as translated within the heterogeneous networks. Thus, ANT was employed to examine and gain better understanding of the factors that influence software testing in organisations. The DOI focuses on how new (fresh) ideas are diffused in an environment, with particular focus on innovation decision process, which constitute five stages: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation and confirmation. Findings from the data analysis of the three cases were further interpreted. Based on the interpretation, a decision support system framework was developed. The framework is intended to be of interest to software developers, software project managers and other stakeholders, most importantly, to provide guide to software testers in their tasks of testing software. Thus, this research is intended to be of interest and benefit to organisations and academic through its theoretical, practical and methodological contribution as detailed in the chapter seven (conclusion). In conclusion, even though this research is rigorous, comprehensive and holistic, there are room for future studies. I would like to propose that future research should be in the areas of measurement of software testing. Also, sociotechnical theories like structuration theory and technology acceptance model should be considered in the analysis of such studies.

Abstract:
FPGAs are frequently used in network systems to provide the performance and flexibility that is required of modern computer networks while allowing network vendors to bring products to market quickly. Like all electronic devices, FPGAs are vulnerable to ionizing radiation which can cause applications operating on an FPGA to fail. These low-level failures can have a wide range of negative effects on the performance of a network system. As computer networks play a larger role in modern society, it becomes increasingly important that these soft errors are addressed in the design of network systems.This work presents a framework for testing the soft-error reliability of FPGA-based networking systems. The framework consists of the NetFPGA development board, a custom traffic generator, and a custom high-speed JTAG configuration device. The NetFPGA development board is versatile and can be used to implement a wide range of network applications. The traffic generator is used to exercise the network system on the NetFPGA and to determine the health of that system. The JTAG configuration device is used to manage reliability experiments, to perform fault injection into the FPGA, and to monitor the NetFPGA during radiation tests.This thesis includes soft-error reliability tests that were performed on an Ethernet switch network system. Using both fault injection and accelerate radiation testing, the soft error sensitivity of the Ethernet switch was measured. The Ethernet switch design was then mitigated using triple module redundancy and duplication with compare. These mitigated designs were also tested and compared against the baseline design. Radiation testing shows that TMR provides a 5.05x improvement in reliability over the baseline design. DWC provides a 5.22x improvement in detectability over the baseline design without reducing the reliability of the system.

Abstract:
Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) is an effective method of demonstrating and improving product reliability in applications where the products are expected to perform for a long period of time. ALT accelerates a given failure mode by testing at amplified stress level(s) in excess of operational limits. Statistical analysis (parameter estimation) is then performed on the data, based on an acceleration model to make life predictions at use level. The acceleration model thus forms the basis of accelerated life testing methodology. Well established accelerated models such as the Arrhenius model and the Inverse Power Law (IPL) model exist for key stresses such as temperature and voltage. But there are other stresses like subsea pressure, where there is no clear model of choice. This research proposes a pressure-life (acceleration) model for the first time for life prediction under subsea pressure for key mechanical/physical failure mechanisms. Three independent accelerated tests were conducted and their results analyzed to identify the best model for the pressure-life relationship. The testing included material tests in standard coupons to investigate the effect of subsea pressure on key physical, mechanical, and electrical properties. Tests were also conducted at the component level on critical components that function as a pressure barrier. By comparing the likelihood values of multiple reasonable candidate models for the individual tests, the exponential model was identified as a good model for the pressure-life relationship. In addition to consistently providing good fit among the three tests, the exponential model was also consistent with field data (validation with over 10 years of field data) and demonstrated several characteristics that enable robust life predictions in a variety of scenarios.; In addition the research also used the process of Bayesian analysis to incorporate prior information from field and test data to bolster the results and increase the confidence in the predictions from the proposed model.

Abstract:
Abstract Accelerated life test (ALT) has been widely used to accelerate the product reliability assessment process by testing product at higher than nominal stress conditions. For a system with multiple components, the tests can be performed at component-level or system-level. The data at these two levels require different amount of resources to collect and carry different values of information for system reliability assessment. Even though component-level tests are cheap to perform, they cannot account for the correlations between the failure time distributions of different components. While system-level tests can naturally account for the complicated dependence between component failure time distributions, the required testing efforts are much higher than that of component-level tests. This research proposes a novel resource allocation framework for ALT-based system reliability assessment. A physics-informed load model is first employed to bridge the gap between component-level tests and system-level tests. An optimization framework is then developed to effectively allocate testing resources to different types of tests. The information fusion of component-level and system-level tests allows us to accurately estimate the system reliability with a minimized requirement on the testing resources. Results of one numerical example demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Abstract:
This paper describes a versatile test facility developed by AECL for validation and reliability (V&R) testing of safety-critical software used in the process trip computers for CANDU reactors. It describes the hardware and software aspects of the test facility. The test hardware consists of a test rig with a test computer used for executing the test software and a process trip computer emulator. The test software is comprised of an operating system, a test interpreter, a test oracle, and a man-machine interface. This paper also discusses the application of the test facility in V&R testing of the process trip computer, how test scripts are prepared and automatically run on the test computer, and how test results are automatically generated by the test computer, thus eliminating potential human errors. The test scripts, which contain specific instructions for testing, are text files written in a special AECL test language. An AECL Test Language Interpreter (ATLIN) program interprets the test scripts and translates structured English statements in the test scripts into test actions. The intuitive nature of the special AECL test language, the version controlled test scripts in text format and automatic test logging feature facilitate the preparation of test cases, which are easy to repeat, review and readily modifiable, and production of consistent results. This paper presents the concept of adding a process trip computer emulator for use in preparation of V&R testing. The process trip computer emulator is designed independently from the actual process trip computer but based on the same functional specification as for the process trip computer. The use of the process trip computer emulator allows the test scripts to be exercised before the actual process trip computers are available for V&R testing, thereby, resulting in a significant improvement to the project schedule. The test facility, with the built-in process trip computer emulator, is also a valuable training tool for the V&R staff and plant personnel.

Abstract:
Testing of components at higher-than-nominal stress level provides an effective way of reducing the required testing effort for system reliability assessment. Due to various reasons, not all components are directly testable in practice. The missing information of untestable components poses significant challenges to the accurate evaluation of system reliability. This paper proposes a sequential accelerated life testing (SALT) design framework for system reliability assessment of systems with untestable components. In the proposed framework, system-level tests are employed in conjunction with component-level tests to effectively reduce the uncertainty in the system reliability evaluation. To minimize the number of system-level tests which are much more expensive than the component-level tests, the accelerated life testing design is performed sequentially. In each design cycle, testing resources are allocated to component-level or system-level tests according to the uncertainty analysis from system reliability evaluation. The component-level or system-level testing information obtained from the optimized testing plans are then aggregated to obtain the overall system reliability estimate using Bayesian methods. The aggregation of component-level and system-level testing information allows for an effective uncertainty reduction in the system reliability evaluation. Results of two numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents a novel test bed devised for the testing of various types of next generation robot actuators, especially modular actuators. Requirements for actuator tests are different from motor testing because actuators for robotic application are highly unique and specialized devices with numerous parameters and conditions to be considered. To meet the high demand of a particular application, the actuator must be carefully tested using highly advanced measurement equipment. The first section introduces the 4-test bed suite for the evaluation environment of modern actuators with their purposes and measurement parameters. General information on the performance testing of actuators is also given. The hardware and software environment of the Actuator Endurance and Reliability Test Bed (AERTB) is then described in depth. Preliminary tests have been done to verify and check the proper operation of the test bed. Test results show that the developed test bed offers excellent testing capability of robot actuators with ease of use.

Abstract:
Abstract An experimental evaluation of bending fatigue strength for austempered ductile iron (ADI) spur gears have been performed using Zwick fatigue tester. The gear material was manufactured by vertically continuous casting, in which the radius of the graphite grains is smaller. The Stress-Number of Cycles curve (S-N curve) for the bending fatigue strength of the ADI spur gears are manufactured without any specific surface treatments, and have been obtained by post-processing software. It was observed that when the reliability was 50%, the fatigue limit was 304.89 MPa. It has provided a reliable basis to rate the reliability design of the small gearboxes in automation later.
