Perpetual Testing

Abstract

The Perpetual Testing project was part of the High Assurance Cluster of projects in the DARPA Evolutionary Design of Complex Software Program. The Perpetual Testing project as a whole was a collaboration of Purdue University (continued at the University of Oregon), University of Massachusetts, and the University of California at Irvine, under three separate Air Force contracts. This report describes the portion of work conducted at Purdue University and the University of Oregon under cooperative agreement F30602-97-2-0034 with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome NY. The Perpetual Testing project goal was to develop technologies to support seamless, perpetual analysis and testing of software through deployment and evolution. The current development paradigm treats testing as a phase that succeeds development and precedes delivery. The Perpetual Testing project's focus was to build a foundation for treating analysis and testing as on-going activities to improve quality assurance through generations of a project.
