An automated framework for structural test-data generation

摘要: Structural testing criteria are mandated in many software development standards and guidelines. The process of generating test data to achieve 100% coverage a given structural metric is labour-intensive expensive. This paper presents an approach automate the generation such data. test-data based on application dynamic optimisation-based search for required same can be generalised solve other problems. Three applications discussed-boundary value analysis, assertion/run-time exception testing, component re-use testing. A prototype tool-set has been developed facilitate automatic these results preliminary experiments using this technique presented show efficiency effectiveness approach.
