摘要

Testing scientific software is a difficult task due to their inherent complexity and the lack of test oracles. In addition, these software systems are usually developed by end-user developers who are not normally trained as professional software developers nor testers. These factors often lead to inadequate testing. Metamorphic testing (MT) is a simple yet effective testing technique for testing such applications. Even though MT is a wellknown technique in the software testing community, it is not very well utilized by the scientific software developers. The objective of this paper is to present MT as an effective technique for testing scientific software. To this end, we discuss why MT is an appropriate testing technique for scientists and engineers who are not primarily trained as software developers. Specifically, how it can be used to conduct systematic and effective testing on programs that do not have test oracles without requiring additional testing tools.
