[Review] Whole Test Suite Generation

[Review] Whole Test Suite Generation

Link here

The paper presents a Genetic Algorithm(GA) in which whole test suites are evolved with the aim of covering all coverage goals at the same time.

  • Whole test suite generation achieves higher coverage than single branch test case generation.
  • Whole test suite generation produces smaller test suites than single branch test case generation.

Background:

  • Current work only target at one coverage goal at a time.
  • Engineers should manually write assertion for every test case, so the length of the test case should be as short as possible(after satisfying the coverage prerequisite).
