2013 journal article

Hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) infestation affects water and carbon relations of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and Carolina hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana)

New Phytologist, 199(2), 452–463.

By: J. Domec n, L. Rivera n, J. King n, I. Peszlen n , F. Hain n, B. Smith n , J. Frampton n

author keywords: carbon isotope; hydraulic conductivity; mortality; soil-plant-atmosphere model; stomatal conductance; traumatic resin canals; water potential; wood anatomy
MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon / metabolism; Carbon Isotopes; Circadian Rhythm / physiology; Hemiptera / physiology; Models, Biological; Nitrogen / metabolism; Plant Diseases / parasitology; Plant Leaves / anatomy & histology; Plant Leaves / physiology; Plant Stems / physiology; Plant Stomata / physiology; Seasons; Tsuga / parasitology; Water / metabolism; Wood / anatomy & histology; Xylem / anatomy & histology
topics (OpenAlex): Forest Insect Ecology and Management; Forest ecology and management; Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics
TL;DR: Despite some leaf compensatory mechanisms, such as an increase in leaf hydraulic conductance and nitrogen content, tree water use and carbon assimilation were diminished significantly in infested trees, which could contribute to tree mortality. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 article

Assessing the accuracy of legal implementation readiness decisions

Massey, A. K., Smith, B., Otto, P. N., & Anton, A. I. (2011, August 1).

By: A. Massey n, B. Smith n, P. Otto n & A. Anton n

topics (OpenAlex): Software Engineering Research; Software Engineering Techniques and Practices; Software Reliability and Analysis Research
TL;DR: The average graduate-level software engineering student is ill-prepared to write legally compliant software with any confidence and that domain experts are an absolute necessity, and the potential utility of legal requirements metrics in aiding software engineers as they make legal compliance decisions is indicated.

2009 article

Should software testers use mutation analysis to augment a test set?

Smith, B. H., & Williams, L. (2009, June 25). Journal of Systems and Software.

By: B. Smith n & L. Williams n

author keywords: Mutation testing; Empirical effectiveness; User study; Mutation analysis; Test adequacy; Web application; Open source; Unit testing; Mutation testing tool
topics (OpenAlex): Software Testing and Debugging Techniques; Software Reliability and Analysis Research; Software Engineering Research
TL;DR: It is shown that mutation analysis can be used by software testers to effectively produce new test cases and to improve statement coverage scores in a feasible amount of time and that the choice of mutation tool and operator set can play an important role in determining how efficient mutation analysis is for producing newtest cases.

2008 article

On guiding the augmentation of an automated test suite via mutation analysis

Smith, B. H., & Williams, L. (2008, August 20). Empirical Software Engineering.

By: B. Smith n & L. Williams n

author keywords: Mutation testing; Line coverage; Fault injection; Empirical effectiveness; Test case augmentation; Mutation analysis; Mutation testing tool; Statement coverage; Test adequacy; Web application; Open source; Unit testing
topics (OpenAlex): Software Testing and Debugging Techniques; Software Engineering Research; Software Reliability and Analysis Research
TL;DR: An empirical study of the use of mutation analysis on two open source projects indicates that a focused effort on increasing mutation score leads to a corresponding increase in line and branch coverage to the point that line coverage, branch coverage and mutation score reach a maximum but leave some types of code structures uncovered.
