Abstract :
Testing a scientific framework is a challenging task, given the framework´s large variability. The approach taken here is to apply software product line engineering, using variability modeling to support the selection of test applications and test cases. Specifically, regression testing is used for a complex scientific framework called the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE).
