Research on Automatic Test Case Generation Framework for Java

Abstract

Automatic test case generation has been a hotspot and a difficult problem in the software testing, Accurately and efficiently generate test cases can improve the efficiency of software testing. Java programs have many characteristics such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and so on, it is convenient for software design and development, but to bring automated testing some difficulties. This article on the Java program of automatic test case generation method is studied and presents a framework for automatic generation of test cases. With this framework, test case suite will be generated quickly and accurately. Experimental results show that automatic Java test case generation framework can quickly and accurately generate test cases , reduce labor costs and improve efficiency.

Review of Genetic Algorithm and Application in Software Testing

“…Previous research shows that, software testing phase takes a lot of effort, time and cost hence the need to find appropriate test case generation technique to effectively improve the testing process. Different test case generation techniques have been proposed in several research work with an objective of enhancing the testing process, these include random test data generators [1][2][3], path oriented test data generators [4][5][6], goal oriented test data technique [7], intelligent test data generator technique [8], other automatic test generation technique for java programs [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In this paper, we review the use of Genetic Algorithm to automatically generate test case using the simple random testing technique.…”
