[Review] Feedback-directed Random Test Generation

Link here

The paper presents a technique to improve random test generation by incorporating feedback obtained from executing test inputs as they are created.

This paper aims to exposing the potential faults in objects(e.g., Java class), i.e., object oriented, by generating a sequence of method calls to explore bugs.

Background

Random testing is of low efficiency, and may generate useless and redundant test sequences. So RANDOOP is proposed to handle this problem.

Implementation

• Randomly select some method sequences that have been checked with no error.
