Software testing is an important part of the software development process. The testing effort is divided into three parts: test case generation, test execution and test evaluation. Test case generation is the center of testing process and automating. It saves time and efforts and reduces the number of errors and faults. To decrease the elevated cost of software testing and to increase the reliability of the testing processes, a new method has been created to automate the testing process. This paper proposes a new approach to generate and optimize test cases from UML State Chart diagram using Genetic Algorithm. To generate the new test sequence the method of crossover has been applied from the Genetic Algorithm and the efficiency of the test sequences is evaluated by Mutation Analysis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
