Automated test data generation using a Scatter Search approach
The techniques for the automatic generation of test cases try to efficiently find a small set of cases that allow a given adequacy criterion to be fulfilled, thus contributing to a reduction in the cost of software testing. In this paper we present and analyze two versions of an approach based on the Scatter Search metaheuristic technique for the automatic generation of software test cases usin...
متن کاملAutomated Test Data Generation Using a Relational Approach
In general, test data generation techniques require an entire program path for automated test data generation. This paper presents a new way for generating test data automatically even without specifying a program path completely. The proposed method reduces the burden of selecting a program path and also makes it easy to generate test data according to various test adequacy criteria. For the e...
متن کاملTest case generation for transition-pair coverage using Scatter Search
A challenging part of Software Testing entails the generation of test cases, whose costs can be reduced by means of the use of techniques for automating this task. On the other hand, the nature of Software Engineering problems is ideal for the application of metaheuristic techniques. In this paper we present an approach based on the metaheuristic technique Scatter Search for the automatic test ...
متن کاملAutomated Test Data Generation Using Cuckoo Search and Tabu Search (CSTS) Algorithm
Software testing is a very important phase in the development of software. Testing includes the generation of test cases which, if done manually, is time consuming. To automate this process and generate optimal test cases, several meta-heuristic techniques have been developed. These approaches include genetic algorithm, cuckoo search, tabu search, intelligent water drop, etc. This paper present...
