Testing Water Quality

Testing Water Quality

When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

Non-destructive Tests for Concrete Strength

Non-destructive Tests for Concrete Strength

The rebound hammer test, also known as the Schmidt hammer test, is a non-destructive technique for evaluating the hardness of concrete and, indirectly, the strength of concrete. It operates on the principle that the rebound of a spring-driven mass from a concrete surface correlates to the surface's hardness. The device comprises a mass within a tubular housing, a spring mechanism, and a plunger that strikes the concrete. Upon release, the energy imparted to the mass by the spring causes it...

Myasthenia Gravis: Diagnostic Tests

Myasthenia Gravis: Diagnostic Tests

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition affecting neuromuscular transmission, causing generalized weakness in skeletal muscles. Initial diagnoses rely on patients' signs, symptoms, and medical history. The challenge lies in distinguishing myasthenia from other muscular dystrophies. An important diagnostic feature is the significant improvement of symptoms after administering anticholinesterase inhibitors.
The edrophonium test is a diagnostic tool for myasthenia gravis. It involves...

Slump Test

Slump Test

The slump test is a widely used method to measure the workability of concrete. It employs a 12-inch high truncated cone mold that tapers from eight inches at the base to four inches at the top. Before testing, the mold is securely attached to a flat base and dampened.
Concrete is poured into the mold in three layers to conduct the test. Each layer is compacted 25 times with a steel tamping rod, which has a five-eighths-inch diameter and a rounded end, to ensure even distribution and eliminate...

Significance Testing: Overview

Significance Testing: Overview

Significance testing is a set of statistical methods used to test whether a claim about a parameter is valid. In analytical chemistry, significance testing is used primarily to determine whether the difference between two values comes from determinate or random errors. The effect of a particular change in the measurement protocol, analyst, or sample itself can cause a deviation from the expected result. In the case of a suspected deviation/outlier, we need to be able to confirm mathematically...

Area of Science:

Software Engineering
Web Services Testing

Background:

Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interfaces (REST APIs) are integral to modern web applications.
Extensive manual test case development is required to validate REST API functionality and performance.
Existing automated solutions often lack flexibility and human contextual input.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel solution for automated test case generation for REST APIs.
To incorporate user interaction into the automated test case generation process.
To enhance test case generation by integrating human expertise and specific context.

Main Methods:

Developed an automated approach for generating test cases based on API specifications (OpenAPI 3.x).
Integrated a user interaction mechanism to allow for human influence on test case generation.
Utilized a comprehensive set of coverage and non-functional metrics for analysis.

Main Results:

The proposed method effectively automates the generation of REST API test cases.
User interaction demonstrably improved the quality and relevance of generated test cases.
Experiments confirmed the effectiveness and practical applicability of the developed solution.

Conclusions:

Automated test case generation for REST APIs can be significantly enhanced through user input.
The method provides a practical and effective approach to API testing.
This work contributes to more robust and efficient API validation strategies.
