Software Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Deterministic Time in Tests

This Software Engineering final year project investigates eliminating unstable timing assumptions in an owned asynchronous module, focusing on software lifecycle evidence, reproducible verification and the limits of the chosen engineering method.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic gives eliminating unstable timing assumptions in an owned asynchronous module a measurable software-engineering purpose beyond building another application. Comparing fault detection, flaky failures and execution duration supports a defensible account of maintainability, testing or delivery trade-offs, with concrete examples of both useful findings and cases the method misses.

How do the selected software-engineering methods affect fault detection, flaky failures and execution duration when eliminating unstable timing assumptions in an owned asynchronous module?

Choose an owned or permissively licensed teaching codebase, agree the controlled changes and validation plan, and narrow the evidence for eliminating unstable timing assumptions in an owned asynchronous module.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the software artifact, expected behaviour and evidence needed for eliminating unstable timing assumptions in an owned asynchronous module.
  2. 02Compare real-clock and controlled-clock tests, introduce boundary faults and evaluate reproducibility under repeated runs.
  3. 03Compare fault detection, flaky failures and execution duration and document limitations and reproducibility.

A suggested research approach

Compare real-clock and controlled-clock tests, introduce boundary faults and evaluate reproducibility under repeated runs. Confirm repository licences and use owned or disposable environments for mutations. Record versions, fixtures and reference outcomes, compare fault detection, flaky failures and execution duration with a documented baseline, and distinguish a passing bounded check from evidence about all possible software behaviour.

What you will need

  • Owned asynchronous module
  • Clock abstraction
  • Boundary-time scenarios

Keep your project scope clear

Controlled time tests do not replace validation of actual scheduling and external systems.
