An Adaptive Random Testing(ART) is one of test case generation algorithms, which was designed to get better performance in terms of fault-detection capability than that of Random Testing(RT) algorithm by locating test cases in evenly spreaded area. Two ART algorithms, such as Distance-based ART(D-ART) and Restricted Random Testing(RRT), had been indicated that they have significant drawbacks in computations, i.e., consuming quadratic order of runtime. To reduce the amount of computations of D-ART and RRT, iterative partitioning of input domain strategy was proposed. They achieved, to some extent, the moderate computation cost with relatively high performance of fault detection. Those algorithms, however, have yet the patterns of non-uniform distribution in test cases, which obstructs the scalability. In this paper we analyze the distribution of test cases in an iterative partitioning strategy, and propose a new method of input domain enlargement which makes the test cases get much evenly distributed. The simulation results show that the proposed one has about 3 percent of improvement in terms of mean relative F-measure for 2-dimension input domain, and shows 10 percent improvement for 3-dimension space.

An Adaptive Random Testing (ART) is one of test case generation algorithms that are designed to detect common failure patterns within input domain. The ART algorithm shows better performance than that of pure Random Testing (RT). Distance-bases ART (D-ART) and Restriction Random Testing (RRT) are well known examples of ART algorithms which are reported to have good performances. But significant drawbacks are observed as quadratic runtime and non-uniform distribution of test case. They are mainly caused by a huge amount of distance computations to generate test case which are distance based method. ART through Iterative Partitioning (IP-ART) significantly reduces the amount of computation of D-ART and RRT with iterative partitioning of input domain. However, non-uniform distribution of test case still exists, which play a role of obstacle to develop a scalable algerian. In this paper we propose a new ART method which mitigates the drawback of IP-ART while achieving improved fault-detection capability. Simulation results show that the proposed one has about 9 percent of improved F-measures with respect to other algorithms.

랜덤 테스트(RT)는 가능한 입력 도메인에서 임의의 입력 값을 선택하여 테스트 케이스를 생성하고 테스트를 수행하는 기본적인 블랙 박스 테스트 기법이다. 랜덤 테스트의 성능을 향상 시키기 위해서 오류 패턴을 고려한 다양한 Adaptive Random Testing (ART) 알고리즘들이 제안되어 왔다. 그 중 Distance-Based ART (D-ART), Restricted Random Testing (RRT)이 좋은 성능을 보이고 있지만, 수행시간이 너무 느리다는 단점이 있어, 이를 대체할 수 있는 여러 ART 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 그 중, Adaptive Random Testing through Iterative Partitioning (IP-ART)가 가장 좋은 성능과 빠른 수행시간을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 IP-ART 의 성능을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 향상된 성능을 평가해 보았다.

Adaptive Random Testing (ART) aims to enhance the performance of pure random testing by detecting failure region in a software. The ART algorithm generates effective test cases which requires less number of test cases than that of pure random testing. However, all ART algorithms currently proposed are designed for the tests of monolithic system or unit level. In case of integrated system tests, ART approaches do not achieve same performances as those of ARTs applied to the unit or monolithic system. In this paper, we propose an extended ART algorithm which can be applied to the integrated system testing environment without degradation of performance. The proposed approach investigates an input distribution of the unit under a test with limited number of seed input data and generates information to be used to resizing input domain partitions. The simulation results show that our approach in an integration environment could achieve similar level of performance as an ART is applied to a unit testing. Results also show resilient effectiveness for various failure rates.

The Adaptive Random Testing(ART) aims to improve the performance of traditional Random Testing(RT) by reducing the number of test cases to find the failure region which is located in the input domain. Such enhancement can be obtained by efficient selection algorithms of test cases. The ART through Iterative Partitioning(IP-ART) is one of ART techniques and it uses an iterative input domain partitioning method to improve the performance of early-versions of ART which have significant drawbacks in computation time. And the IP-ART with Enlarged Input Domain(EIP-ART), an improved version of IP-ART, is known to make additional performance improvement with scalability by expanding to virtual test space beyond real input domain of IP-ART. The EIP-ART algorithm, however, have the drawback of heavy cost of computation time to generate test cases mainly due to the virtual input domain enlargement. For this reason, two algorithms are proposed in this paper to mitigate the computation overhead of the EIP-ART. In the experiments by simulations, the tiling technique of input domain, one of two proposed algorithms, showed significant improvements in terms of computation time and testing performance.

Adaptive Random Testing through Iterative Partitioning(IP-ART) is one of Adaptive Random Testing(ART) techniques. IP-ART uses an iterative partitioning method for input domain to improve the performances of early-versions of ART that have significant drawbacks in computation time. Another version of IP-ART, named with EIP-ART(IP-ART with Enlarged Input Domain), uses virtually enlarged input domain to remove the unevenly distributed parts near the boundary of the domain. EIP-ART could mitigate non-uniform test case distribution of IP-ART and achieve relatively high performances in a variety of input domain environments. The EIP-ART algorithm, however, have the drawback of higher computation time to generate test cases mainly due to the additional workload from enlarged input domain. For this reason, a revised version of IP-ART without input domain enlargement needs to improve the distribution of test cases to remove the additional time cost. We explore three smoothing algorithms which influence the distribution of test cases, and analyze to check if any performance improvements take place by them. The simulation results show that the algorithm of a restriction area management achieves better performance than other ones.

On the motivation by an integrative study of multi-omics data, we are interested in estimating the structure of the sparse cross correlation matrix of two high-dimensional random vectors. We rewrite the problem as a multiple testing problem and propose a new method to estimate the sparse structure of the cross correlation matrix. To do so, we test the correlation coefficients simultaneously and threshold the correlation coefficients by controlling FRD at a predetermined level α. Further, we apply the proposed method and an alternative adaptive thresholding procedure by Cai and Liu (2016) to the integrative analysis of the protein expression data (X) and the mRNA expression data (Y) in TCGA breast cancer cohort. By varying the FDR level α, we show that the new procedure is consistently more efficient in estimating the sparse structure of cross correlation matrix than the alternative one.

Autonomous driving vehicle research demands complex road and lane understanding such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and centering, lane change and turn assist, and driving under complex road conditions. A fast and robust road lane detection subsystem is a basic but important building block for this type of research. In this paper, we propose a method that performs road lane detection from black box input. The proposed system applies Random Sample Consensus to find the best model of road lanes passing through divided regions of the input image under HSV color model. HSV color model is chosen since it explicitly separates chromaticity and luminosity and the narrower hue distribution greatly assists in later segmentation of the frames by limiting color saturation. The implemented method was successful in lane detection on real world on-board testing, exhibiting 86.21% accuracy with 4.3% standard deviation in real time.

In this paper, we propose a novel intelligent headlight control (IHC) system which is durable to various road lights and camera movement caused by vehicle driving. For detecting candidate light blobs, the region of interest (ROI) is decided as front ROI (FROI) and back ROI (BROI) by considering the camera geometry based on perspective range estimation model. Then, light blobs such as headlights, taillights of vehicles, reflection light as well as the surrounding road lighting are segmented using two different adaptive thresholding. From the number of segmented blobs, taillights are first detected using the redness checking and random forest classifier based on Haar-like feature. For the headlight and taillight classification, we use the random forest instead of popular support vector machine or convolutional neural networks for supporting fast learning and testing in real-life applications. Pairing is performed by using the predefined geometric rules, such as vertical coordinate similarity and association check between blobs. The proposed algorithm was successfully applied to various driving sequences in night-time, and the results show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is better than that of recent related works.
