SENECA PROJECT

SENECA is an European Industrial Doctorate project, which provides the opportunity to nine early-stage researchers to pursue their PhD in the area of software engineering of cloud-based systems. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 642954. The research is organized in three streams: A) Product quality in cloud-related software development projects B) Process quality in cloud-related software development C) Operations' quality in cloud systems... In general software testers need to test classes that include a lot of dependencies. To not rely on these dependencies, which slow down the testing process, devs use mock objects. We want to present a qualitative and quantitave study that investigate how mocks are currently used in open-source projects. We analyze how the usage of mocking frameworks affect test quality and conduct qualitative research to understand..
