Abstract The accuracy and reliability of non-destructive testing (NDT) approaches in detecting interior corrosion problems are critical, yet research in this field is limited. This work describes a novel way to monitor the structural integrity of steel gas pipelines that uses advanced numerical modeling techniques to anticipate fracture development and corrosion effects. The objective is to increase pipeline dependability and safety through more precise, real-time health evaluations. Compared to previous approaches, our solution provides higher accuracy in fault detection and quantification, making it ideal for pipeline integrity monitoring in real-world applications. To solve this issue, statistical… More >

Abstract With the increasing use of web applications, challenges in the field of cybersecurity are becoming more complex. This paper explores the application of fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) for the automatic generation of synthetic attacks, including XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), SQL Injections, and Command Injections. A web application has been developed that allows penetration testers to quickly generate high-quality payloads without the need for in-depth knowledge of artificial intelligence. The fine-tuned language model demonstrates the capability to produce synthetic payloads that closely resemble real-world attacks. This approach not only improves the model’s precision and dependability but… More >

Abstract Big Data is reforming many industrial domains by providing decision support through analyzing large data volumes. Big Data testing aims to ensure that Big Data systems run smoothly and error-free while maintaining the performance and quality of data. However, because of the diversity and complexity of data, testing Big Data is challenging. Though numerous research efforts deal with Big Data testing, a comprehensive review to address testing techniques and challenges of Big Data is not available as yet. Therefore, we have systematically reviewed the Big Data testing techniques’ evidence occurring in the period 2010–2021. This… More >

Abstract In the past decades, a significant increase has been observed in cyber-attacks on the web-based systems used for financial purposes. Such individual systems often contain security weaknesses, called vulnerabilities that can be exploited for malicious purposes. The exploitation of such vulnerabilities can result in disclosure and manipulation of sensitive data as well as have destructive effects. To protect such systems, security testing is required on a periodic basis. Various detection and assessment techniques have been suggested by developers and researchers to address these security issues. In this paper, we survey the contributions of academia in… More >

Abstract Software testing is an important and cost intensive activity in software development. The major contribution in cost is due to test case generations. Requirement-based testing is an approach in which test cases are derivative from requirements without considering the implementation’s internal structure. Requirement-based testing includes functional and nonfunctional requirements. The objective of this study is to explore the approaches that generate test cases from requirements. A systematic literature review based on two research questions and extensive quality assessment criteria includes studies. The study identifies 30 primary studies from 410 studies spanned from 2000 to 2018.… More >

Abstract Schizophrenia (SZ) is one of the most common mental diseases. Its main characteristics are abnormal social behavior and inability to correctly understand real things. In recent years, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique has been popularly utilized to study SZ. However, it is still a great challenge to reveal the essential information contained in the MRI data. In this paper, we proposed a biomarker selection approach based on the multiple hypothesis testing techniques to explore the difference between SZ and healthy controls by using both functional and structural MRI data, in which biomarkers represent both… More >
