Towards testing big data analytics software: the essential role of metamorphic testing
1School of Computer Science, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Abstract:
In the rapidly growing field of big data analysis, scientists from numerous domains such as computer science and biology are constantly challenged by an unprecedented amount of data. While many software programs have been constructed to support processing and analyzing continuous information flow, one under-appreciated challenge in this field is software quality assurance of these big data software platforms. Metamorphic testing, which was proposed to alleviate the oracle problem in the software engineering community, has become an effective approach for software verification and validation. Recent years, we have witnessed successful applications of metamorphic testing in a variety of domains, ranging from bioinformatics to deep learning. In this letter, we review some main applications of metamorphic testing on big data and present visions for the challenges in future research.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...
