Testing large software systems is very laborious and expensive. Model-based test generation techniques are used to automatically generate tests for large software systems. However, these techniques require manually created system models that are used ...
Code Coverage Aware Test Generation Using Constraint Solver
Software Engineering and Formal Methods. SEFM 2020 Collocated Workshops
Abstract
Code coverage has been used in the software testing context mostly as a metric to assess a generated test suite’s quality. Recently, code coverage analysis is used as a white-box testing technique for test optimization. Most of the research ...
