An Adequacy Based Test Data Generation Technique Using Genetic Algorithms

An Adequacy Based Test Data Generation Technique Using Genetic Algorithms

As the complexity of software is increasing, generating an effective test data has become a necessity. This necessity has increased the demand for techniques that can generate test data effectively. This paper proposes a test data generation technique based on adequacy based testing criteria. Adequacy based testing criteria uses the concept of mutation analysis to check the adequacy of test dat...

Effective Test Data Generation using Genetic Algorithms

Software testing is an indispensible part of software development. It increases the confidence of programmer and user in the reliability and accuracy of software. However, it is a laborious and time-consuming task. Almost half of the software development resources spend on testing the software. Automatic software testing can substantially reduce the cost of development of software. Further exha...

Software Security Test Data Generation Based on Genetic Algorithms

Software security is an important quality. The software security testing is one of the most important kinds of the software testing. How to test the software security, and especially to automatically generate security test cases are major problems. An improved method of the test data generation based on Genetic Algorithm is put forwarded. A software security test algorithm is developed. The alg...

Test Data Generation for Event-B Models Using Genetic Algorithms

Event-B is a formal modeling language having set theory as its mathematical foundation and abstract state machines as its behavioral specifications. The language has very good tool support based on theorem proving and model checking technologies, but very little support for test generation. Motivated by industrial interest in the latter domain, this paper presents an approach based on genetic a...
