Abstract
Software Product Lines (SPL) are inherently difficult to test due to the
combinatorial explosion of the number of products to consider. To reduce
the number of products to test, sampling techniques such as
combinatorial interaction testing have been proposed. They usually start
from a feature model and apply a coverage criterion (e.g. pairwise
feature interaction or dissimilarity) to generate tractable,
fault-finding, lists of configurations to be tested. Prioritization can
also be used to sort/generate such lists, optimizing coverage criteria
or weights assigned to features. However, current
sampling/prioritization techniques barely take product behavior into
account. We explore how ideas of statistical testing, based on a usage
model (a Markov chain), can be used to extract configurations of
interest according to the likelihood of their executions. These
executions are gathered in featured transition systems, compact
representation of SPL behavior. We discuss possible scenarios and give a
prioritization procedure illustrated on an example.
