Title
Interprocedural Data-Flow Testing For Visual Dataflow Languages
Abstract
In this paper, we compare, from an interprocedural (interacting procedures) testing perspective, similarities between imperative and visual dataflow languages (VDFLs). Our comparative analysis reveals opportunities to adapt code-based interprocedural data-flow testing techniques to test visual dataflow programs in the context of Prograph [6]. Based on that adaptation we have extended our integrated dataflow testing tool (DFTT), to test Visual dataflow Programs. Our test cases revealed that, analogous to imperative languages, the ''all-du-paths" data-flow interprocedural testing can help catch errors that would normally go undetected when using intraprocedural (unit) dataflow testing.
