A Challenge: Scalability

• Precursors to Ballista achieved high level repeatability

  • But, they didn’t scale without significant effort

• Scaffolding

  • Software testing in general requires scaffolding to be erected for every function to be tested
  • But, this makes it expensive to test a significant API

• Specification/oracle creation

  • Software testing in general requires a specification for each function
  • But, specification (or even source code) may be unavailable
