This paper presents a goal-oriented test data generation technique that specializes concolic testing. The proposed technique, referred to as GCT (Goal-oriented Concolic Testing) produces test inputs which execute a specific target. Concolic testing can be seen as the brute force approach to search the space of all possible paths until a required test input is found. In contrast, GCT restricts the number of program paths that are explored by using data flow information to identify statements that should be executed beforehand in order for the target to be executed. We conducted experiments to evaluate the performance of GCT with programs with flag variables to show its effectiveness.

Concolic testing generates test data by combining concrete program execution and symbolic execution to achieve high test coverage. CREST is a representative open-source test tool implementing concolic testing. Currently, however, CREST aims at exploring all possible execution paths. In case of testing a specific branch or block, thus, it can be ineffective. This paper suggests a goal-oriented concolic testing that generates test data to execute a given branch or block.

본 논문에서는 객체지향 프로그램에 대한 프로그램 정보를 분석하여 이들간의 관계를 표현할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 현재까지 프로그램을 분석하고 표현하기 위한 그래프 표현으로 호출 그래프, 제어흐름 그래프 및 종속 그래프 등이 있으며 이를 이용하여 테스팅, 슬라이싱, 디버깅, 프로그램 이해, 병렬처리, 역공학과 같은 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 객체지향 언어의 프로그램의 시각적 이해를 돕고, 분석에 필요한 정보를 표현하는 그래프들간의 관계성을 고려한 효율적인 분석기를 표현한다. 이를 위해 클래스, 상속관계, 호출관계, 제어흐름 및 데이터 종속관계를 고려하여 객체 지향언어 분석에 필요한 그래프 요소를 멤버함수레벨, 클래스 레벨, 모듈 클래스 레벨 단위로 추출하고 이들간의 정보를 저장소로 통합 구성한다. 이를 통해 기존의 특정목적을 위해 표현하는 그래프 표현 방식은 그래프간의 관계성과 분석정보의 독립성 그리고 재사용성의 특징을 가지는 통합 분석기로 구성될 수 있다. 이러한 특징은 프로그램의 이해와 정보의 관리효과를 증가시킬 수 있으며, 많은 소프트웨어 엔지니어링 도구와 기술들에 필요한 통합화된 정보를 제공하고 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

A purpose of the object-oriented programming is to promote reuse and development time, and to improve software quality. A way for this purpose is using a design information well-defined and tested in previous time when developing software. Such design information is called design patterns. The design patterns are descriptions of abstract solution to recurse software design problems In a systematic and general way. But because the design patterns are descriptions of abstract solution, the specification and application of patterns generally rely on manual implementation and is applied to various forms. As a result, we need to spend a lot of time to develop software program not only because of difficulty in analyzing and applying to patterns consistently, but also because of the frequent programing faults. And because the applied design patterns don't express inside application visually, it is difficult to analyze and test for this design patterns. In this paper, we propose automatic source code generating technique to be able to efficiently apply the element of design patterns when developing application. And we show a way to analyze and use the applied design patterns in application. As a result, the design patterns in application provide the consistent structure and efficiency, and make analysis and using effect increased.
