Even when software is developed using a rigorous discipline, it will contain a significant number of bugs. At one time, it was believed that the use of formal methods would eventually allow probable correct programs to be written, thus completely eliminating the need for testing. Today, we know that while the number of defects in a program written will be lower under certain development environ...

Abstract Test-Comp 2022 is the 4th edition of Competition on Software Testing. Research competitions are a means to provide annual comparative evaluations. focusses fully automatic software test generators for C programs. The results competition shall be reproducible and an overview current state art in area test-generation. was based 4 236 test-generation tasks Each task consisted program spec...

Search-based optimization methods have been used for software engineering activities such as software testing. In the field of software testing, search-based test data generation refers to application of meta-heuristic optimization methods to generate test data that cover the code space of a program. Automatic test data generation that can cover all the paths of software is known as a major cha...
