Is Coverage a Good Measure of Testing Effectiveness? An Assessment Using Branch Coverage and Random Testing
Most approaches to testing use branch coverage to decide on the quality of a given test suite. The intuition is that covering branches relates directly to uncovering faults. In this article we present an empirical study that applied random testing to 14 Eiffel classes for a total of 2520 hours and recorded the number of uncovered faults and the branch coverage over time. Our results show that: ...
متن کاملGenerating Test Data for Branch Coverage
Branch coverage is an important criteria used during the structural testing of programs. In this paper, we present a new program execution based approach to generate input data that exercises a selected branch in a program. The test data generation is initiated with an arbitrarily chosen input from the input domain of the program. A new input is derived from the initial input in an attempt to f...
متن کاملBranch-Coverage Testability Transformation for Unstructured Programs
Generating test data by hand is a tedious, expensive and error-prone activity, yet testing is a vital part of the development process. Several techniques have been proposed to automate the generation of test data, but all of these are hindered by the presence of unstructured control flow. This paper addresses the problem using testability transformation. Testability transformation does not pres...
متن کاملFeedback-Based Coverage Directed Test Generation: An Industrial Evaluation
Although there are quite a few approaches to Coverage Directed test Generation aided by Machine Learning which have been applied successfully to small and medium size digital designs, it is not clear how they would scale on more elaborate industrial-level designs. This paper evaluates one of these techniques, called MicroGP, on a fully fledged industrial design. The results indicate relative su...
متن کاملPriority-setting for achieving universal health coverage
Governments in low- and middle-income countries are legitimizing the implementation of universal health coverage (UHC), following a United Nation's resolution on UHC in 2012 and its reinforcement in the sustainable development goals set in 2015. UHC will differ in each country depending on country contexts and needs, as well as demand and supply in health care. Therefore, fundamental issues suc...
