• Lecture 29: We finished our discussion on data-flow based testing. We started usage-based testing. In usage-based testing one constructs a statistical model of dynamic program behavior. After that, one uses the statistical model to infer characteristics of programs that can be used in testing, e.g. features that are used heavily in the program and hot paths in the program.
