Abstract

Experimentation is necessary to provide advances in research on software testing, but without infrastructure to support that experimentation, progress cannot occur. To help with this problem, we have been designing and constructing infrastructure to support controlled experimentation with software testing techniques. This position paper describes our efforts, and the challenges faced in creating infrastructure and making it available.
