Test suite reusability measurement is important to obtain the value of reusability as the degree of effectiveness of reused test suite. The measurement in this experiment considers not only the frequency of the successful test suite to examine different objects but also the code coverage as the criteria of a good test suite. The combination of the frequency and code coverage in the measurement reports the current condition of test suite reusability. The research confirms the test suite reusability measurement provides useful information to know the degree of effectiveness of reused test suite, especially in regression testing and automated testing.

Evaluating a test suite that contains redundant test cases is necessary to reduce the cost of testing. The redundant test cases exist when both of the two test cases are executed the same lines of code. This research evaluates the test suite by identifying redundant test cases. Exact match approach is used to investigate the redundant test cases in the test suite. The redundancy score is defined by redundancy formula which is calculated by dividing the number of redundant test cases by numbers of test cases in a test suite. The experiment uses two Java programs. The redundancy scores of the two test suites from each program are 0.37 and 0.67, respectively. It means 37% and 67% redundant test cases are included in the test suites. The redundancy score provides useful information to improve the efficiency of software testing, especially in testing other programs by reusing the same test suite such as regression testing and automated testing.

The cohesion is one of the design quality indicators in software engineering. The measurement of the value of cohesion is done by looking at the correlation between attributes and methods that are in a class. In Direct Distance Design Class Cohesion (D C ) metrics, attributes, and methods are assumed to have a good correlation if they have a similar type. But, the similarity of type parameters and attributes do not always indicate that these attributes are managed (correlated) in the method. This study is trying to gain information that can enhance the degree of certainty of a correlation between the methods and attributes. Relatedness between them has been seen from closeness the meaning of the name tag attribute, method, and parameters. The experimental results declared an increase in the value of cohesion produced in line with the similarity of meaning. 3 2

Large portion of rural small-scale farmers in Tanzania can't afford to buy quality agricultural inputs (fertilizers and seeds), therefore the government of Tanzania provides these farmers with paper-based subsidy vouchers which allow them to buy the agricultural inputs at only half price. However, challenges like misuse of the vouchers by some government officials (stealing and favoritism in vouchers' allocation) and lack of trust (difficulty of verifying vouchers' authenticity) have resulted into low crop productivity for the farmers and loss of government funds. In our previous work, we developed agricultural input voucher system which stores and allocates digital subsidy vouchers to farmers in the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network and we evaluated its performance based on transaction throughput and latency metrics which are important to farmers, who access the system through Short Message Service (SMS) in their mobile phones. The blockchain network's features such as hashing and digital signature prevent misuse and ensure trust of the digital vouchers. In this paper, we evaluate performance of the developed blockchain network based on resources (CPU and memory) consumption metrics which are important in planning resources during system deployment. The evaluation findings reveal that, Raft consensus protocol consumes resources more efficiently than Kafka consensus protocol.

In previous research, we developed a method to automate the conventional evaluation of eye misalignment (cover test) and distinguish misaligned eyes from their movements. However, this method had the problem that vertical eye movements were affected by the eyelids and eyelashes, and could not be completely detected. To solve this problem, we have developed another method to recognize abnormalities by observing only the movement near the center of the pupil.

Evaluating the test suite that contains redundant test cases is necessary to ensure the efficiency of the testing and reducing the cost of testing. The principle of redundant test cases on this research is any test cases on a similar path executed with a similar high value of normalized Euclidean distance. The first, the similarity calculated between the test cases and path coverage uses Euclidean distance. The value of the Euclidean distance on the test case with the lowest value of distance indicating highly similar and possibly executing similar lines of code. The normalized Euclidean distance is using to normalize the value from Euclidean distance result. The experiment uses two java programs. Each redundancy score is 0.37 and 0.67, respectively. It means 37% and 67% of the test cases should be avoided because there are inefficiency test cases on the test suite. The research confirms redundant test cases can be identified by Euclidean distance and normalized Euclidean distance to evaluate the test suite.

Ensuring traceability of software deliverables is one of the methods to ensure software quality. RETUSS (Real-time Ensure Traceability between UML and Source-code System) is a tool that saves labor and time, and eliminates mistakes by human handling in ensuring traceability between UML and source code. However, RETUSS is not useful due to its limited scope of application. This paper improves the usefulness of RETUSS by extending the function to ensure real-time traceability between UML sequence diagrams and Java source code on RETUSS.

The natural language includes ambiguous expressions. Vienna Development Method (VDM) is one of methodology on the formal methods to write the specification without ambiguity. Because VDM++ is written by strict grammar, it is difficult to write a VDM++ specification. This research attempts to generate a VDM++ specification automatically from a natural language specification by machine learning. To generate a VDM++ specification, it is necessary to extract words that consist of predicate corresponding to the function and nouns corresponding to variable from the natural language specification. This paper proposes an approach to generate a VDM++ specification based on its grammar from the classified word list. Identifiers are generated from the classified word list, and then the VDM++ specification can be generated by converting them into VDM++ grammar.
