A Review on Automated Test Case Generation Using Genetic Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software testing is a key of guaranteeing software quality and reliability. For testing software performance we have to need testing data or test case. So generation of test cases is one of the key steps for software testing. In generation of suitable test cases for a software/program, nature inspired algorithms play an important role. We studied several nature inspired algorithms but in this paper we will discuss only genetic algorithm. Our paper is a review paper for automatic test case generation for software testing using genetic algorithms.

متن کاملAiding Test Case Generation in Temporally Constrained State Based Systems Using Genetic Algorithms
Generating test data for formal state based specifications is computationally expensive. This paper improves a framework that addresses this issue by representing the test data generation problem as an optimisation problem and uses heuristics to help generate test cases. The paper considers the temporal constraints and behaviour of a certain class of finite state machines. A short case study of...
متن کاملA Genetic Approach to Analyze Algorithm Performance Based on the Worst-Case Instances
Search-based software engineering has mainly dealt with automated test data generation by metaheuristic search techniques. Similarly, we try to generate the test data (i.e., problem instances) which show the worst case of algorithms by such a technique. In this paper, in terms of non-functional testing, we re-define the worst case of some algorithms, respectively. By using genetic algorithms (G...

متن کاملAppraisal of the evolutionary-based methodologies in generation of artificial earthquake time histories
Through the last three decades different seismological and engineering approaches for the generation of artificial earthquakes have been proposed. Selection of an appropriate method for the generation of applicable artificial earthquake accelerograms (AEAs) has been a challenging subject in the time history analysis of the structures in the case of the absence of sufficient recorded accelerogra...
