Search-Based Software Testing
Researchers and practitioners have designed and implemented various automated test case generators to support effective software testing. Such generators exist for various languages (e.g., Java, C#, or Python) and various platforms (e.g., desktop, …
Search-based approaches have been used in the literature to automate the process of creating unit test cases. However, related work has shown that generated tests with high code coverage could be ineffective, i.e., they may not detect all faults or …
Search-based techniques have been widely used for white-box test generation. Many of these approaches rely on the approach level and branch distance heuristics to guide the search process and generate test cases with high line and branch coverage. …
Basic Block Coverage (BBC) is a secondary objective for search- based unit test generation techniques relying on the approach level and branch distance to drive the search process. Unlike the approach level and branch distance, which considers only …
This master thesis project, revisits the links between search-based crash reproduction and software quality metrics to assess the hardness of search-based crash reproducing test case generation.
This study presents the initial step towards a thorough analysis of the difficulty to reproduce a crash using search-based crash reproduction. Traditionally, code size and complexity are considered representative indicators of the difficulty for …
