More Effective Ontology Authoring with Test-Driven Development
  Ontology authoring is a complex process, where commonly the automated
reasoner is invoked for verification of newly introduced changes, therewith
amounting to a time-consuming test-last approach. Test-Driven Development (TDD)
for ontology authoring is a recent {\em test-first} approach that aims to
reduce authoring time and increase authoring efficiency. Current TDD testing
falls short on coverage of OWL features and possible test outcomes, the
rigorous foundation thereof, and evaluations to ascertain its effectiveness.
  We aim to address these issues in one instantiation of TDD for ontology
authoring. We first propose a succinct, logic-based model of TDD testing and
present novel TDD algorithms so as to cover also any OWL 2 class expression for
the TBox and for the principal ABox assertions, and prove their correctness.
The algorithms use methods from the OWL API directly such that reclassification
is not necessary for test execution, therewith reducing ontology authoring
time. The algorithms were implemented in TDDonto2, a Prot\'eg\'e plugin.
TDDonto2 was evaluated on editing efficiency and by users. The editing
efficiency study demonstrated that it is faster than a typical ontology
authoring interface, especially for medium size and large ontologies. The user
evaluation demonstrated that modellers make significantly less errors with
TDDonto2 compared to the standard Prot\'eg\'e interface and complete their
tasks better using less time. Thus, the results indicate that Test-Driven
Development is a promising approach in an ontology development methodology.
