This paper discusses computer-assisted generation of input data for program testing. The test data generation system must produce input data that is per specification, unbiased by prior analysis of the program to be tested. The test data generators evaluated use random generation techniques to produce the test data. To reduce the number of sets of test data needed to test a program, summary inf...

The software testing has gained importance and can be considered a fundamental activity to ensure the quality of the software being developed. In the literature, there are three groups of testing techniques proposed to reveal a great number of faults with minimal effort and costs: functional technique, structural technique and fault-based technique. These techniques are generally associated to ...

Dataflow coverage, one of the white-box testing criteria, focuses on the relations between variable definitions and their uses. Several empirical studies have proved data-flow testing is more effective than control-flow testing. However, data-flow testing still cannot find its adoption in practice, due to the lack of effective tool support. To this end, we propose a guided symbolic execution ap...
