Full textGiven the increasing complexity of systems and the cost associated with test and evaluation of aerospace systems, more efficient methods are sought. Randomized test designs for aviation developmental test activities and other complex systems may not enable safe test conduct and may be prohibitively costly from a financial or time point of view. This research reviews Design of Experiments (DoE) test design approaches applicable to aerospace prototype test and evaluation activities. It proposes the use of Split Plot Optimal Designs to leverage advantages of DoE while satisfying requirements for limited randomization of the test runs. Through the use of case studies, the Split Plot Optimal Design approach is demonstrated to provide a 58% cost and schedule savings versus a One Factor At a Time approach, and 53% savings from the fully randomized Central Composite Design, while maintaining relevant statistical power. Through the use of Monte Carlo data simulation, the designs are evaluated for application to linear and quadratic models, with statistically significant results measured by Chi Squared and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.

Full textOhjelmistotestauksen tutkimuksen ja käytännön ohjelmistotestauksen välillä on aukkoja joillakin toiminnan osa-alueilla. Yksi tällainen aukko koskee tutkivaa testausta. Tutkiva testaus on yksi käytetyimmistä lähestymistavoista ohjelmistotestauksen toimialan parissa. Tästä huolimatta, tutkivasta testauksesta on hyvin vähän tutkimusta ja monet ohjelmistotestauksen käsikirjat joko välttävät aiheen tyystin tai vähättelevät sitä. Lisäksi, tutkivasta testauksesta puuttuu laajalle levinnyt metodologia sekä koulutus. Rapid Software Testing (RST) on testausmetodologia pyrkimyksenään integroida tutkiva testaus osaksi testauksen koko kirjoa. Sillä on erilaiset lähtökohdat testaukselle kuin perinteisellä testauksella, joka vallitsee kirjallisuutta sekä testauksen sertifikaatteja. International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) on luonut menestyksekkäimmän järjestelmän ohjelmistotestaajien sertifioinnille. Sertifikaatteja on myönnetty yli 470,000 kappaletta. Tämän työn empiirisinä kokeina suoritettiin ohjelmistotestausta käyttäen RST-metodologiaa lähtökohtana. Lopputulokset dokumentoitiin ohjelmistovirheinä, jotka sitten rekonstruoitiin riittäviksi testitapauksiksi löytämään kyseiset ohjelmistovirheet. Nämä rekonstruoidut testitapaukset analysoitiin niiden tekijöiden määrittämiseksi, jotka vaikuttaisivat testitapausten dokumentaation tehokkuuteen ohjelmistovirheiden löytämiseksi. Lisäksi, testausautomaatiosta selkeästi hyötyvät testitapaukset eriteltiin myös. Käytetty aika testaukseen ja rekonstruoimiseen kirjattiin vertailua varten. Kokeiden suoritus kesti kokonaisuudessaan 9,5 tuntia, josta 5 tuntia kului testaukseen ja loput 4,5 tuntia löydettyjen ohjelmistovirheiden rekonstruoimiseen ISTQB-testitapauksiksi. 33% rekonstruoiduista testitapauksista tunnistettiin hyötyvän huomattavasti testausautomaatiosta. Lisäksi tunnistettiin kolme erityyppistä tekijää, joilla on potentiaalia lisätä testausdokumentaation määrää eksponentiaalisesti; ulkoiset tekijät: nopeus; alustan tekijät: selaimen toiminnot sekä tarkkuuden tekijät: testitapausten yksityiskohtaisuus

Considerando cotações diárias e mensais durante o período de 1999-2015. Foram utilizados os testes Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), os testes de rácio de variância automático assim como os rácios de variâncias individuais e múltiplos propostos por Lo e Mackinlay, e Chow e Denning, respetivamente. Os vários testes utilizados para confirmar a hipótese de passeio aleatório das dezoito ações assim como do índice PSI-20, obtiveram resultados mistos contra a hipótese testada. Enquanto o teste Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) rejeitou a hipótese de raiz unitária para todas as ações e também para o índice PSI-20 confirmando assim um passeio aleatório. Por outro lado, os testes de rácios de variâncias, rejeitam a hipótese testada para algumas das ações consideradas assim como para o índice PSI-20, contudo tende esse número de ações tende a diminuir quando se utiliza as cotações mensais.
This paper investigates the efficiency of the eighteen stocks that constitute the main Portuguese stock index, the PSI-20 of the Lisbon Stock Exchange. Tools used for the investigation were daily and monthly data from January 1999 to May of 2015, using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, the automatic variance ratio by Choi and the individual and multiple variance ratios, by Lo and Mackinlay, and, Chow and Denning, which test the efficiency of the eighteen stocks and PSI-20 index. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) tests the null hypothesis that the series has a unit root, while the variance ratio tests the random walk hypothesis. Based on these tests, the results provide mixed evidence against the random walk hypothesis. The results for the unit root tests do not reject the efficient market hypothesis for the entire sample, while the results from the variance ratio tests do, but tend to decrease in monthly data.

This study analyzes the efficiency market hypothesis for the art market. We use quarterly data from 1998:1 to 2015:1. Our analysis is based on 15 art price indices: Global index (USD), Global index (EUR), Paintings, Prints, Sculptures, Photographies, Drawings, Old Masters, Nineteenth Century, Modern Art, Post-war, Contemporary, USA (in USD), UK(in GBP) and France (in EUR). We cannot reject the null of unit root, and we conclude that the art series is nonstationary based on the conventional unit root test. However, when we use the Quantile unit root test, we are able to reject the unit root null for the 9 of 15 art indices. These nine series are Global index (EUR), Paintings, Prints, Sculptures, Drawings, Post-war, USA (in USD), UK (in GBP) and France (in EUR). Overall, our result suggests that the art market is inefficient, and these 9 art indices face different shocks is a temporary effect, thus there are arbitrage chances.

Abstract In this study, we apply quantile unit root test to test the weak-form efficient market hypothesis for China, using stock price index data from December 21, 1990 to April 10, 2015 for both the Shanghai and the Shenzhen. Our empirical results demonstrate that Shenzhen stock market is more efficient than that of Shanghai stock market. Inspection of the Chinese market efficiency, this means that a more active policy to open the capital market in China for interantional investor should be adopeted.

About forty percent of total cost in the software development life cycle is spent on the testing phase. How to improve the efficiency of software testing is an important issue of software cost reduction. However, few researches on testing efficiency were discussed. In this paper, the following two techniques to improve the testing efficiency of the structural testing are proposed: (1) Incremental optimum path set selection method: This method uses the previously selected path set(s) to reduce the computation time needed to find a path set for a stronger adequacy criterion. The number of new paths found by this method will be less than or equal to that found by existing methods, however, the computation time is greatly reduced. (2) Test order arrangement method: The debugging of a program is a challenging and time-consuming task because the debugger confronts little information about the source of errors. This method uses the minimum number of untested statements criterion to decide the order of test cases of the program under test. Since the number of untested statements is minimum, debugging the program will be easier.

The goal of classification testing is to classify subjects into different categories according to their abilities or latent traits. By implementing appropriate item selection algorithm and termination criterion, computerized classification testing (CCT) can select items with highest information for each examinee based on his/her responses to previous items and terminate the test with shorter test length. However, a two-dimensional CCT was not found to perform better than its unidimensional counterpart with respect to the efficiency (Seitz & Frey, 2013). The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of multidimensional computerized classification testing (MCCT) by incorporating correlations between dimensions and conditional distribution of ability into the termination criterion. It is expected that the efficiency of the proposed MCCT will be higher than its unidimensional counterpart when dimensions are correlated. In the proposed method, when the cut point of one dimension is specified, the termination criterion estimates the cut point of the other dimension through ability conditional distribution. This new cut point would be more precise in describing the correlation between dimensions, and each item selected can provide classified information for classification on all dimensions which in turn improves the efficiency of MCCT. Two simulation studies were conducted for between-item and within-item MCCT, respectively. Six independent variables were manipulated, including the degree of correlation between dimensions, location of cut point, item selection algorithm, termination criterion, the way of choosing representative ability from normal distribution, and item exposure control. The results showed that the termination criterion proposed in this study could improve the efficiency of MCCT when dimensions were correlated. The higher the correlation, the more the efficiency can be improved. In addition, the distance between the cut point and the mean ability of examinees affects the test length of MCCT. For different purposes of classification test, different combinations of item selection algorithm and termination criterion would be suitable for different cut points. When the item exposure control procedure was applied to the MCCT, the test length generally increased. In sum, the MCCT that employed the proposed termination criterion showed higher efficiency than its unidimensional counterpart.

This paper presents how to utilize software to improve the order of movements for hardware of the tester and reach the best efficiency. The proposed method is verified by using the real sample IC and the tester with the test programs. The testing programs are regarded as the factor of improving. The experiments are designed to find out the most efficient way to write in the program. The shorter time for test procedure the better the test efficiency.
