Mutation testing is a technique to assess test suite adequacy to distinguish between correct and incorrect programs. Mutation testing applies one or more small changes to a program to obtain variants called mutants. The adequacy of a test suite is measured by determining how many of the mutants it distinguishes from the original program. There are many works about mutation testing, but the existing approaches focus on a specific programming language, and usually, it is not easy to customize the set of mutation operators. In this paper, we present Wodel-Test, an extension of the Wodel tool that implements a language-independent mutation testing framework based on model-driven engineering principles.

We use graph transformation to define an adaptive component model, what allows us to carry on predictive analyses on dynamic architectures through simulations. Specifically, we build on the e-Motions definition of the Palladio component model, and then specify adaptation mechanisms as generic adaptation rules. We illustrate our approach with rules modelling the increase in the number of CPU replicas used by a component, and the distribution of works between processors, reacting, respectively, to saturated queues or response time constraints violations. We evaluate alternative scenarios by analysing their performance, and discuss on its consequences in practice.

The modular specification of non-functional properties of systems is a current challenge of Software Engineering, for which no clear solution exists. However, in the case of Domain-Specific Languages some successful proposals are starting to emerge, combining model-driven techniques with aspect-weaving mechanisms. In this paper we show one of these approaches in practice, and present the implementation we have developed to fully support it. We apply our approach for the specification and monitoring of non-functional properties using observers to a case study, illustrating how generic observers defining nonfunctional properties can be defined in an independent manner. Then, correspondences between these observers and the domain-specific model of the system can be established, and then weaved into a unified system specification using an ATL model transformation. Such a unified specification can also be analyzed in a natural way to obtain the required non-functional properties of the system.

The Personal Web refers to a collection of technologies that confer the ability to reorganize, configure and manage online content rather than just viewing it. The main forms of Web content are HTML pages. HTML pages are represented as DOM trees, hence the Web is conceived as a «forest of DOM trees». The vision is for users to «prune» (removing nodes) or «graft» (adding nodes) existing DOM trees to improve their Web experience. Hence, Web content is no longer consumed as canned by Web masters. Rather, users can remove content of no interest to them, or placing new content from somewhere else. This vision accounts for a post-production user-driven Web customization. Being user driven, appropriate abstractions and tools are needed. The paper introduces an IDE (realized as a plugin from Chrome) to empower nonprogrammers to achieve HTML rearrangement.
