Software Testing is of mainly two types: Manual Testing and Automated Testing. Manual testing uses the knowledge of the testing engineer to target testing to the parts of the system that are assumed to be more error-prone. Software quality is improved by the use of automated testing. Automated testing cannot replace manual testing but it is used to detect that faults/defects which manual testin...

This paper investigates an approach for automated testing. A system for generating questions and tests is described, and a case study is given where such questions and tests were used for continuous assessment in a first-year mathematics course. The very positive feedback from the students and staff indicates that this approach to continuous assessment is an excellent way of helping students ma...

Fuzz testing is an effective technique for finding security vulnerabilities in software. Traditionally, fuzz testing tools apply random mutations to well-formed inputs and test the program on the resulting values. We present an alternative whitebox fuzz testing approach inspired by recent advances in symbolic execution and dynamic test generation. Our approach records an actual run of a program...

Usual techniques for automatic test data generation are based on the assumption that a complete oracle will be available during the testing process. However, there are programs for which this assumption is unreasonable. Recently, Chen et al. [3, 4] proposed to overcome this obstacle by using known relations over the input data and their unknown expected outputs to seek a subclass of faults insi...
