Mooctest.net, an online software testing platform, can automatically deploy the testing environment and provide various software testing metrics, such as statement and decision coverage, to help practitioners improve testing efficiency and effectiveness.
When the contest begins, the Mooctest server will deploy multiple subject programs to each contestant's environment. Once deployment is complete, contestants can start testing, and an active timer will be displayed on the screen. During the contest, participants are expected to understand the source code and write JUnit test cases. Submitted test cases are sent to the Mooctest server, which compiles them, executes them against the subject programs, measures decision coverage, and computes the mutation score. The decision coverage achieved by each submission will be communicated back to the contestants to assist in generating additional test cases, while the mutation score will remain hidden. Multiple submissions are allowed, enabling contestants to refine and improve their test cases. When the timer expires, the contest ends, and the Mooctest server will no longer accept submissions.
