Organizational Unit
Aviation Management
(2011)
The Department of Aviation Management opened in 2011 under the Atılım University Graduate School of Civil Aviation. The department curriculum encompasses management and aviation, and education is offered in English as the language of global aviation. Aviation is a sector with a potential for growth globally by around five percent each year, and nationally by ten percent or more, exceeding the worldwide averages. The Department of Aviation Management trains individuals equipped to work in aviation at public institutions, airlines, ground operation institutions, terminal services and general aviation organizations. Our department offers an opportunity for students to study abroad for a semester under our Erasmus+ contracts, and a chance to familiarize themselves with the sector via summer internship programs organized twice throughout their period of study. In addition, some of the aviation courses are presented at relevant institutions (e.g. Terminal operations).

Avionics
The department of Avionics aims to train qualified technicians of electrics-electronics as required for maintenance, repairs and renewal procedures in the national and international sector of civil aviation. The department trains students in how to perform maintenance and repairs on electrical and electronic equipment of aircrafts using contemporary methods and techniques that fit the provisioned rules. The department holds a SHY147 certificate. Therefore, the curriculum of education meets that for technician training provisioned by the European Aviation Safety Agency, in addition to subjects of basic electricity and electronics. The education is provided in English as the language for aviation. An Avionics Laboratory, an Aircraft Communication and Navigation Laboratory, an Aircraft Electrical Systems Laboratory and a Cockpit Instrumentation Laboratory are available at the İncek campus of our University. The department also provides in-house training with actual aircrafts at the training hangar at the Esenboğa Airport.

Abstract

For a given test set, we compare two test application techniques, "stopping at first failure" and "complete run", respectively. The former stops the test whenever a failure is encountered. The latter however, carries on till the end. Our comparison concludes that although the first technique is generally faster, there is no strong evidence to support a complete rejection of the second technique for it provides statistics useful in test planning. Results support an interchangeable application of both techniques with more frequent use of stopping at first failure. Even though there are numerous studies to decide how to prioritize and select test cases (TC), or to examine dependencies of TCs and codes, the presented comparison of the two test application techniques for a given "test set" has the potential to reduce the total run time of the test.
