[SOLVED] Cse 565: structural-based testing assignment

Purpose
The goal of this project is to explore and analyze code coverage using structural-based testing
techniques.
Objectives
Learners will be able to:
● Analyze code coverage using statement and decision coverage techniques.
● Develop a set of test cases based on specified requirements.
● Learn about different data flow anomalies.
Technology Requirements
● Java 17 or above
Project Description
In this assignment, you will focus on two vital aspects of software testing and code analysis. The
project consists of two distinct parts, each geared towards honing your skills in specific areas.
In Part 1, you will explore code coverage analysis for a Vending Machine application. You will learn
how to assess code coverage using statement and decision coverage techniques, enabling you to
identify untested areas and enhance the test suite’s efficiency.
In Part 2, the focus shifts to data flow analysis in Static Analysis code. You will develop the ability to
detect data flow anomalies, such as data leaks and uninitialized variables.
Directions
Download the provided files located in the assignment page, then carefully review the directions
before starting your work:
1
● VendingMachine.java
● StatisticAnalysis.java
Part 1:
You are expected to research and experiment with a tool that provides statement and decision
code coverage.
You are given a Java file called VendingMachine.java and you are asked to develop a set of test
cases for this code based on the following requirements:
● Takes in an integer input
● Allows users to select between three products: Candy (20 cents), Coke (25 cents), Coffee (45
cents)
● Returns the selected product and any remaining change
● If there is not enough money to buy the product, displays the amount necessary to buy the
product and other products to purchase.
You are expected to execute the program with your test cases, observe and report out the code
coverage of your test cases. The goal is to reach 100% in statement and 90% in decision
coverage. You should be changing your test cases until you reach the desired coverage
Part 2:
You are expected to research and experiment with a static source code analysis tool.
You are given a Java file called StaticAnalysis.java which contains two different data flow
anomalies.
The inputs to this code are:
● the weight of the package as an integer
● the length of the package as an integer
● the type of product as a String
You are expected to execute the tool you selected and analyze the report generated for
StaticAnalysis.java code. You need to analyze the findings of the tool on this code and comment on
how well the tool has performed in identifying the two built in anomalies.
FInally, you are expected to assess the tool in your own words in terms of:
● Features and functionalities provided by the tool

● Type of anomalies covered by the tool
● Ease of use
Submission Directions for Project Deliverables
You will submit all project deliverables compiled into one (1) report in PDF format.
Title your file as yourlastname_firstname_CSE 565_StructuralBasedTesting and submit at the
assignment submission page.
A single report in APA/MLA style should include Part 1 and Part 2 consisting of all the screenshots of
test cases, coverage and detailed explanations about what the screenshots represent.
Part 1
It should include:
1. A description of the tool used and the type of code coverage it provides
2. Description of the set of test cases developed including the screenshots of the code written
3. Report and discuss the coverage achieved for the test cases executed by including
screenshots showing the tool’s coverage
Part 2
It should include:
1. Description of the tool used and the types of analysis it provides
2. Description and analysis of the anomalies detected by the tool, showing screenshot of the
report generated
3. Your assessment of the tool in your own words in terms of:
• Features and functionalities provided by the tool
• Type of anomalies covered by the tool
• Ease of use
Submission Guidelines
You may submit your deliverables as many times as needed. However, only the most recent
submission will be graded.
You must submit your Project 2 file in the designated submission space. Learners may not email or
use other means to submit any project for review, including feedback, and grading.

Evaluation
You will be evaluated on the criteria for each part (worth 100 points total):
Part 1
1. Description of the tool and type of coverage (10 points) – Description of the tool used and
the types of coverage it provides
2. Development and description of a set of test cases (20 points) – Test cases covering all
code coverage requirements. You are expected to include a screenshot showing the test
cases developed for achieving the required coverage.
3. Reporting out and discussion of the code coverage (20 points) – You are expected to
include a report and discuss coverage achieved by the executed test cases by including
screenshots showing code coverage achieved by the test cases
Part 2
1. Description of the tool and type of anomalies covered (10 points) – Description of the tool
used and the types of anomalies it covers
2. Description and analysis of the anomalies detected by the tool (20 points) – Description
and analysis of the anomalies detected by the tool, showing screenshot of the report
generated
3. Assessment of the tool (20 points) – Your are expected to evaluate the tool in terms of:
● Feature and functionalities
● Coverage provided
● Ease-of-use
