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
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 conference paper

Assessing the accuracy of legal implementation readiness decisions

2011 19th ieee international requirements engineering conference (re), 207–216.

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

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 journal article

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

JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE, 82(11), 1819–1832.

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
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 journal article

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

EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, 14(3), 341–369.

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
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.
