1. Combinatorial Coverage Measurement Concepts and Applications
Published: 3/18/2013
Authors: David R Kuhn, Itzel Dominquez Mendoza, Raghu N Kacker, Yu Lei
Abstract: Combinatorial testing applies factor covering arrays to test all t-way combinations of input or configuration state space. In some testing situations, it is not practical to use covering arrays, but any set of tests covers at least some portion of t- ...

2. Protecting Wireless Local Area Networks
Published: 12/3/2012
Authors: Shirley Mae Radack, David R Kuhn
Abstract: This article summarizes the information that was presented in the February 2012 Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) bulletin, Guidelines for Securing Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). The bulletin, which was noted by WERB in February 2012, wa ...

Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 7878
Published: 10/26/2012
Authors: David R Kuhn, Raghu N Kacker, Yu Lei
Abstract: Combinatorial testing applies factor covering arrays to test all t-way combinations of input or configuration state space. In some testing situations, it is not practical to use covering arrays, but any set of tests covers at least some portion ...

4. Measuring Combinatorial Coverage of System State-space for IV&V
Published: 10/17/2012
Authors: David R Kuhn, Raghu N Kacker
Abstract: This report describes some measures of combinatorial coverage that can be helpful in estimating this risk that we have applied to tests for spacecraft software but have general application to any combinatorial coverage problem. This method will be i ...

5. Efficient Algorithms for T-way Test Sequence Generation
Published: 10/16/2012
Authors: Linbin Yu, Yu Lei, Raghu N Kacker, David R Kuhn, James F Lawrence
Abstract: Combinatorial testing has been shown to be a very effective testing strategy. Most work on combinatorial testing focuses on t-way test data generation, where each test is an unordered set of parameter values. In this paper, we study the problem of t- ...

6. Efficient Methods for Interoperability Testing Using Event Sequences
Published: 7/31/2012
Authors: David R Kuhn, James M. Higdon, J .M. Lawrence, Raghu N Kacker, Yu Lei
Abstract: Many software testing problems involve sequences of events. The methods described in this paper were motivated by testing needs of mission critical systems that may accept multiple communication or sensor inputs and generate output to several commun ...

7. Evaluation of Fault Detection Effectiveness for Combinatorial and Exhaustive Selection of Discretized Test Inputs
Published: 6/4/2012
Authors: Carmelo Montanez-Rivera, David R Kuhn, Mary C Brady, Richard M Rivello, Jenise Reyes Rodriguez, Michael K. Powers
Abstract: Testing components of web browsers and other graphical interface software can be extremely expensive because of the need for human review of screen appearance and interactive behavior. Combinatorial testing has been advocated as a method that provid ...

8. Combinatorial Methods for Event Sequence Testing
Published: 4/17/2012
Authors: David R Kuhn, James M. Higdon, James F Lawrence, Raghu N Kacker, Yu Lei
Abstract: Many software testing problems involve sequences. This paper presents an application of combinatorial methods to testing problems for which it is important to test multiple configurations, but also to test the order in which events occur. For exam ...

9. Vulnerability Hierarchies in Access Control Configurations
Published: 12/27/2011
Author: David R Kuhn
Abstract: This paper applies methods for analyzing fault hierarchies to the analysis of relationships among vulnerabilities in misconfigured access control rule structures. Hierarchies have been discovered previously for faults in arbitrary logic formulae [11 ...

10. Role Engineering: Methods and Standards
Published: 12/8/2011
Authors: Timothy Weil, David R Kuhn, Edward Coyne
Abstract: This article explains problems and approaches to designing permission structures for role based access control. RBAC and the RBAC standard are summarized, common approaches to role engineering described, and the current status and plans for the INCI ...
