BLACK-BOX SOFTWARE TESTING WITH STATISTICAL LEARNING

摘要

A method to determine a relationship between inputs and outputs based on a parametric model may include receiving a data set that includes known inputs and corresponding known outputs associated with a component. The method also includes generating a parametric model to automatically determine a functionality of the component based on the data set by selecting the parametric model from multiple types of parametric models based on a data type associated with the data set. The method also includes determining whether the parametric model applies to the data set. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the parametric model applies to the data set, receiving a new output associated with the component. The method also includes determining a new input from the new output based on the parametric model.

1. A method to determine a relationship between inputs and outputs based on a parametric model, the method comprising:
receiving a data set that includes known inputs and corresponding known outputs associated with a software component under test and with unknown functionality; generating, using a processor device programmed to perform or control performance of the generating, a parametric model to automatically determine a functionality of the software component under test based on the data set by selecting the parametric model from multiple types of parametric models based on a data type associated with the data set; determining whether the parametric model applies to the data set; responsive to determining that the parametric model applies to the data set, receiving a new output associated with the software component under test; and determining a new input from the new output based on the parametric model.
