Component Metacontents for Regression Test Selection

Goal
To design and implement metacontents for regression test selection (RTS).

Tasks
Part 1: Initial investigation and design of metacontents for RTS

- Background reading and familiarization with systems (JABA, DejaVOO, etc.)
- Use metacontents paper as a guide, design metacontents for RTS.

- may need more efficient, better, etc. way to represent metacontents
- may also realize need for additional metacontents
- want a generic way to represent and get information (e.g., metacontents for dejavu and for tsl should be similar)

Part 2: Creation of new version of DejaVOO that uses metacontents

- Create a modified version of DejaVOO that "produces" metacontents in XML (directly or indirectly)
- Create a modified version of DejaVOO that "consumes" metacontents for applications

Part 3: Other tasks

- Create an instrumented version of the component and a metamethod for enabling the instrumentation
- Create a technique for the application's use of the metacontents for coverage
