Abstract
This paper proposes an analytical method for deriving software failure regions, which are regions of the input space that are mapped to failures by specific faults. Previous studies have used empirical rather than analytical approaches to derive failure regions. A manual technique is presented and proven to produce the necessary and sufficient conditions of a fault being executed and leading to a failure. Semiautomated tools to assist in the manual technique are discussed, as is the use of failure regions in regression testing

    Previous authors have postulated that faults are related to each other and testers have tried to exploit the effect. However, the evidence and applications have been largely anecdotal. This thesis uses an analytical ...
