CSE Conference and Workshop Papers
While a large body of research is dedicated to testing for feature interactions in configurable software, there has been little work that examines what constitutes such a fault at the code level. In consequence, we do not know how prevalent real interaction faults are in practice, what a typical interaction fault looks like in code, how to seed interaction faults, or whether current interaction testing techniques are effective at finding the faults they aim to detect.
We make a first step in this direction, by deriving a white box criterion for an interaction fault. Armed with this criterion, we perform …
