Perhaps it's a truth that I spend so much effort in giving a professional structure and interface to the prototypes I make simply because I love doing it that way. But, I have seen that it does yield some practical benefits too.
In the couple of days I have spent as much time introducing elements of minimal usability, like command options, and complete end-to-end execution with a single command.
Now when I am actually collecting the experimental data, I am able to do it almost completely automatically using a simple perl script to invoke the tool with the right command line inputs.
Of course, the process involved in designing an automation of an experiment is fairly complex and requires insight regarding the requirement. What are the figures we are are trying to measure? This question may have significant effect on the manner in which the system under test is designed.
This blog will incorporate some of my findings at a high level from designing the experiments for my method.
In short, I was to draw comparison between a specification based regression testing method which I call 'explicit state space enumeration' or ESSE method and another method called 'Legal Random Calls' or LRC method.
