4. ECE453/SE465 4University of Waterloo Slice-Based Testing Definitions Given a program P, and a program graph G(P) in which statements and statement fragments are numbered, and a set V of variables in P, the slice on the variable set V at statement fragment n, written S(V,n), is the set node numbers of all statement fragments in P prior to n that contribute to the values of variables in V at statement fragment n Given a program P, and a program graph G(P) in which statements and statement fragments are numbered, and a set V of variables in P, the slice on the variable set V at statement fragment n, written S(V,n), is the set node numbers of all statement fragments in P prior to n that contribute to the values of variables in V at statement fragment n The idea of slices is to separate a program into components that have some useful meaning The idea of slices is to separate a program into components that have some useful meaning

5. ECE453/SE465 5University of Waterloo Slice-Based Testing Definitions We will include CONST declarations in slices We will include CONST declarations in slices Five forms of usage nodes Five forms of usage nodes P-use (used in a predicate (decision)) P-use (used in a predicate (decision)) C-use (used in computation) C-use (used in computation) O-use (used for output, e.g. writeln()) O-use (used for output, e.g. writeln()) L-use (used for location, e.g. pointers) L-use (used for location, e.g. pointers) I-use (iteration, e.g. internal counters) I-use (iteration, e.g. internal counters) Two forms of definition nodes Two forms of definition nodes I-def (defined by input, e.g. readln()) I-def (defined by input, e.g. readln()) A-def (defined by assignment) A-def (defined by assignment) For now, we presume that the slice S(V,n) is a slice on one variable, that is, the set V consists of a single variable, v For now, we presume that the slice S(V,n) is a slice on one variable, that is, the set V consists of a single variable, v

6. ECE453/SE465 6University of Waterloo Slice-Based Testing Definitions If statement fragment n (in S(V,n)) is a defining node for v, then n is included in the slice If statement fragment n (in S(V,n)) is a defining node for v, then n is included in the slice If statement fragment n (in S(V,n)) is a usage node for v, then n is not included in the slice If statement fragment n (in S(V,n)) is a usage node for v, then n is not included in the slice P-uses and C-uses of other variables are included to the extent that their execution affects the value of the variable v P-uses and C-uses of other variables are included to the extent that their execution affects the value of the variable v O-use, L-use, and I-use nodes are excluded from slices O-use, L-use, and I-use nodes are excluded from slices Consider making slices compilable Consider making slices compilable
