This paper presents a novel approach for automated test data generation of imperative programs containing integer, boolean and/or float variables. Our approach is based on consistency techniques integrating integer and float vari-ables.... more
generateData is a MATLAB/Octave function for generating 2D data clusters. Data is created along straight lines, which can be more or less parallel depending on the selected input parameters. The function also allows to fine-tune the... more
استفاده نمودن از دادههای آزمون مناسب تاثیر بهسزایی در بالا بردن توانایی کشف خطای آزمون نرم افزار دارد. در سالهای اخیر شاهد افزایش علاقهمندی به استفاده از روشهای مبتنی بر جستجو در خودکارسازی فعالیت تولید داده آزمون هستیم. در روشهای... more
There has been a considerable body of work on search-based test data generation for branch coverage. However, hitherto, there has been no work on multi-objective branch coverage. In many scenarios a single-objective formulation is... more
Software quality is primarily determined by the quality of the software development process. The goals of software testing are to assess and improve the quality of software. Software testing has proven to be difficult in the absence of... more
The application of metaheuristic search techniques in test data generation has been extensively investigated in recent years. Most studies, however, have concentrated on the application of such techniques in structural testing. The use of... more
This paper presents a set of methods that uses a genetic algorithm for automatic test-data generation in software testing. For several years researchers have proposed several methods for generating test data which had different drawbacks.... more
The extended finite state machine is a powerful model that can capture almost all the aspects of a system. However, testing from an EFSM is yet a challenging task due to two main problems: path feasibility and path test data generation.... more
Despite the upsurge of interest in the Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm, there remain few results on test data generation techniques for AOP. Furthermore, there is no work on search-based optimization for test data generation,... more
To ensure an acceptable level of quality and reliability of a typical software product, it is desirable to test every possible combination of input data under various configurations. However, due to the combinatorial explosion problem,... more
This paper describes an integrated methodology for the construction of test cases from functional specifications using the classification-tree method. It is an integration of our extensions to the classification-hierarchy table, the... more
This paper presents a set of methods that uses a genetic algorithm for automatic test-data generation in software testing. For several years researchers have proposed several methods for generating test data which had different drawbacks.... more
This paper introduces the Species per Path approach to search-based software test data generation. The approach transforms the program under test into a version in which multiple paths to the search target are factored out. Test data are... more
Previous approaches to search based test data generation tend to focus on coverage, rather than oracle cost. While there may be an aspiration that systems should have models, checkable specifications and/or contract driven development,... more
Although a lot of research has been done in the field of state-based testing, the automatic generation of test cases from a functional specification in the form of a state machine is not straightforward. This paper investigates the use of... more
