II-NEW: Collaborative Research: COMET-COMmunity Event-based Testing

事件驱动软件（EDS）横跨多个领域，从工业嵌入式设备和机器人控制器到web界面。为EDS试验新的软件测试技术的研究人员没有可以用来比较他们的技术的基准。该项目调查了基于事件的测试研究人员社区基础设施的需求，以提供实验中的一致性。它使用需求分析的结果来开发一个称为COMET的初步原型：基于社区事件的测试。COMET将由EDS测试的一组核心需求组成，这些需求提供了逻辑和具体测试工件的存储库。这包括使实验进行方式标准化的过程和模型，以及通用计算组件的在线web服务。在这个项目中开发的技术将产生广泛的影响：COMET有可能将EDS测试技术带到更广泛的社区，并将促进思想的更大可转移性。EDS测试的工件将提供给其他学科，如对EDS可用性感兴趣的人机交互研究人员。

Event-driven software (EDS) spans multiple domains, from industrial embedded devices and robotic controllers to web interfaces. Researchers experimenting with new software testing techniques for EDS do not have benchmarks that they can use to compare their techniques. This project investigates the requirements for a community infrastructure of event-based testing researchers to provide uniformity in experimentation. It uses the results of the requirements analysis to develop a preliminary prototype called COMET: COMmunity-Event-based Testing. COMET will consist of a core set of requirements for EDS testing that provides a repository of both logical and concrete test artifacts. This includes processes and models to standardize the way experiments are conducted as well as on- line web services for common computational components. Techniques developed in this project will have a broad impact: COMET has the potential to bring EDS testing techniques to a broader community and will promote greater transferability of ideas. Artifacts for EDS testing will be available to other disciplines such as computer human interaction researchers who are interested in EDS usability.
