Att skriva enhetstester är en viktig del i nya populära systemutvecklingsmetoder som extreme programming. Med testdriven utveckling skriver man testerna innan den källkod som skall testas. Ett vanligt problem med dessa tester är att de blir beroende av delar i systemet som inte är intressant för själva testen. Mock objekt är en teknik som gör det enkelt att isolera tester från allt som inte är relaterat till det som skall testas. Det finns två sätt att se på mock objekt. Den traditionella synen är att mock objekt skall användas som ett verktyg vid isolering av externa system. Den alternativa synen är att mock objekt är ett designverktyg som kan driva fram en bättre design i systemet. I denna uppsats utvärderas ett antal mock objekt bibliotek ur detta nyare perspektiv. Resultatet visar att det finns åtskilliga skillnader mellan biblioteken.

Today wireless transmission of data is becoming more and more popular and the need for faster transmission rates is increasing. Since the bandwidth is limited it is important to try to use it to the fullest. CDMA is a technology that allows multiple accesses on the same frequency and time thus making it very bandwidth efficient. The CDMA technology was first introduced in the second generation’s cellular systems but has since then been improved and is reused in today’s 3G systems as Wideband CDMA. ISY is interested in getting a behavioural model of a W-CDMA system since they had developed a DSP processor called BBP1 and were thinking about adding W-CDMA support for it. Even though our system is not implemented on the BBP1 it should provide a good base for future implementations. This thesis project will describe the construction of a behavioural model of a W-CDMA system following the standard specified by 3GPP. The system simulates W-CDMA transmission and reception and has an optional channel used to simulate real world interference. The receiver uses a rake combiner to improve the performance of the system.

Model-driven software development can help tackle complexity when developing large software systems. Model-driven development tools facilitate this. Such tools support multiple features and languages; some are multi-platform and support multi-language code generation from models. Umple is a full-featured open source language and modelling tool that we used as a basis for this thesis. Distribution concerns have become a critical part of modern software systems. In this thesis, we present how we extended Umple to support the development of model-driven synchronous or asynchronous distributed systems. Our contributions provide simple syntax, model analysis capabilities, and programming APIs, which allow users to change the configuration of systems both at development and deployment stages. We also demonstrate how a system can be modeled without distribution concerns and easily be transformed to a distributed system through our approach. The contributions of this thesis are: a) Creating a mechanism to distribute objects in Umple; b) Developing new semantics for modelling of distributed objects and providing supporting syntax for this in Umple; c) Investigating different patterns and technologies to implement code generation for distributed systems; d) Implementation, testing, and comparison of the distributed feature in Umple for executable Java code; and e) implementing a mechanism to dynamically modify the distribution plan at runtime.

Software development can be thought of in two fairly distinct ways: on one hand, it is a scientific area in which scientific method is applied in terms of quantifiable measurements and empirical studies. On the other hand (as with many other principles) it is based on craftsmanship in which the best practices emerge with experience.TDD is one such practice, emerging from the community of software developers as a means of developing higher quality software. This thesis aimed to study whether or not TDD actually leads to an increase in quality. This was conducted by developing a client application for a company in southern Sweden called TN Datakonsult AB. The application receives and visualizes signals from industrial processes. An API with the intent to capture this data over HTTP was developed in C#. This API was written by using TDD, while the client that consumed the API was written without tests as a control group. The code metrics that were calculated were cyclomatic complexity, lines of code, depth of inheritance, code coverage and class coupling. The results shows that many of the benefits associated with TDD are derived from the ability to track that the application under development is behaving as expected at any given time. This is a quality aspect which is particularly difficult to measure, even though the code metrics pre-sented will assist the developer to keep track of the state of the application.

Servicos web sao componentes de software fracamente acoplados projetados para promover a comunicacao interoperavel entre aplicacoes na Internet. O acesso a servicos web da-se de maneira padronizada (via protocolos definidos pelo W3C), independente da linguagem de programacao, sistema operacional ou plataforma em que sao desenvolvidos. Devido a essas caracteristicas, servicos simples podem ser combinados em servicos mais completos. Coreografia consiste em uma abordagem descentralizada para a composicao de servicos. Diferentemente de orquestracoes, abordagem na qual servicos distribuidos sao coordenados de modo centralizado, a interacao entre os servicos de uma coreografia e colaborativa e a coordenacao descentralizada. Apesar das vantagens, o desenvolvimento de coreografias, incluindo as atividades de testes, nao e algo consolidado. O objetivo desta dissertacao foi desenvolver uma arcabouco de teste que facilite o uso de Desenvolvimento Guiado por Testes (Test-Driven Development, TDD) em coreografias de servicos web. Rehearsal, o arcabouco proposto, fornece funcionalidades para o teste automatizado de (i) servicos web atomicos (teste de unidade); (ii) composicao de servicos (teste de integracao) e (iii) uma parte ou toda a coreografia (teste de aceitacao). Esses testes podem ser implementados utilizando funcionalidades do arcabouco, tais como a criacao dinamica de clientes para servicos web, o interceptador de mensagens e a abstracao da coreografia em objetos Java. Alem disso, Rehearsal facilita a criacao e uso de Mocks de servicos web, uma importante pratica de TDD. Além de avaliar o arcabouco desenvolvido, um estudo ex- ploratorio qualitativo foi conduzido com estudantes de Ciencia da Computacao. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, as funcionalidades do Rehearsal mostraram-se adequadas para a utilizacao de TDD em coreografias de servicos web. / Web services are loosely-coupled software components designed to support interoperable machine- to-machine interaction over the Internet. To achieve such interoperability, web services are accesible through W3C web standards, independently of which language, operating system, or hardware platform they are developed. Due to these characteristics, simple web services can be combined in more complex ones. Choreographies are a distributed approach for composing web services. Compared to orchestrations, which have a centralized approach to distributed service management, the interaction among the choreographed services is collaborative with decentralized coordination. Despite the advantages, choreography development, including the testing activities, is not consolidated. The goal of this research is to develop a testing framework to support Test-Driven Development (TDD) of choreographies. Rehearsal, the proposed framework, provides features for automating the testing of (i) atomic web services (unit testing); (ii) their integration in the choreography (integration testing); and (iii) part of or the entire choreography (acceptance testing). These several levels of testing are implemented by using framework features such as the dynamic generation of web service clients, message interception, and the abstraction of the choreography into Java objects. In addition, Rehearsal supports important practices of TDD such as service mocking. To assess the developed framework, we conducted a qualitative exploratory study with Computer Science students. According to the results obtained, the features of Rehearsal were adequate for applying TDD to web service choreography development successfully.

We discuss the design and analysis of a code generator for C++, implemented in the Umple model-oriented programming technology. Umple adds UML constructs and patterns to various base programming languages such as Java and PhP. Umple code generators create code for those constructs, which can include UML associations and state machines, as well as patterns such as immutable and singleton. Base language methods are passed through unchanged along with the generated code. Creating a C++ code generator for Umple posed many challenges, all of which are discussed in this thesis: We had to focus on the appropriate C++ idioms and stylistic conventions to follow. We followed a test-driven development process to ensure that the resulting code was correct. To evaluate the work, we compared our C++ generator with those in other tools such as ArgoUML and IBM Rational Software Architect. We conclude that our C++ generator is superior in many ways to these widely used tools because it is more complete and generates better quality code.

Com este aumento crescente de usuários com acesso sem fio, muitas pesquisas se concentram no esforço de desenvolvimento de soluções que permitam atender às demandas de redes com alta disponibilidade e altas taxas de transmissão sem considerar, em geral, as limitações de bateria dos dispositivos. Como requisito do LTE Advanced (especificações para a Quarta Geração de comunicações móveis) incluem-se os Serviços de Proximidade, comunicação denominada de dispositivo a dispositivo (D2D, do inglês: device-to-device) para atender ao desenvolvimento de novas demandas de serviços, como jogos e vídeos on-line ou transferência de conteúdos, aplicações que, a cada dia, requerem maiores consumos de energia. Neste trabalho, realizamos medições que avaliam o consumo da comunicação dispositivo-estação base e propomos primeiramente um algoritmo de identificação de pares de dispositivos e definição de limiares de referência, diferentemente de outros trabalhos, com base nas características de consumo dos dispositivos, que viabilize comunicação direta D2D energeticamente mais eficiente que a comunicação convencional via estação rádio base. Em seguida, para cenários de grande aglomeração de pessoas, uma alternativa de serviço de disponibilização de conteúdos ou transferência de arquivos através de um novo padrão de alocação de recursos, utilizando o modo duplex por divisão no tempo (TDD – Time Duplex Division). Foram considerados cinco modelos de propagação distintos para comparação do desempenho, tomando como base uma situação real num parque do Recife considerando a transmissão de um vídeo em alta definição. Por fim, tratamos a questão da segurança com uma criptografia específica entre os dispositivos próximos. Os resultados são avaliados via simulação utilizando-se o Matlab, demonstrando a eficácia da solução com reduções de até 43% no consumo de energia da bateria do dispositivo.
