Sommario
Field testing refers to testing techniques that operate in the field to reveal those faults that escape in-house testing. Field testing techniques are becoming increasingly popular with the growing complexity of contemporary software systems. In this article, we present the first systematic survey of field testing approaches over a body of 80 collected studies, and propose their categorization based on the environment and the system on which field testing is performed. We discuss four research questions addressing
how
software is tested in the field,
what
is tested in the field, which are the
requirements
, and how field tests are
managed
, and identify many challenging research directions.
