멜티미디어 표준인 MPEG-2 TS 형태의 테스트 데이터를 자동 생성하는 도구인 TDGT(Test Data Generation Tool)를 설계하고 구현하였다. TDGT는 테스터로부터 기본적인 입력사항을 받아들이고 이를 기반으로 테스트 데이터를 자동 생성한 후 결과물로 테스트 데이터 스크립트 파일과 테스트 데이터 시나리오 파일, 테스트 데이터 커버리지 분석 결과를 테스터에게 제공한다. TDGT는 복잡하고 방대한 테스트 데이터를 생성하는데 요구되는 노력, 시간을 상당히 줄여주며 전문적인 지식이 없는 이도 쉽게 테스트 데이터를 생성할 수 있게 한다. 본 논문은 TDGT가 테스트 데이터를 자동 생성하는 구조와 TDGT의 분석을 제시하였으며 이 시스템의 prototype을 기술한다.

테스트 데이터의 자동 생성은 소프트웨어 테스팅에서 가장 중요하면서도 어려운 부분이다. 대부분의 데스트 데이터 자동생성에 관한 연구는 명세로부터 테스트 데이터를 자동 생성하는 방식이며 이틀 위해 정확한 정형적 명세를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서 는 프로그램을 실 행하지 않고 프로그램의 동적인 특성을 분석할 수 있는 요약 해석(abstract interpretation) 방법과 선후 지배 관계(pre-, postdominance relationship)를 이용하여 프로그램 코드로부터 직접 테스트 데이터를 자동 생성할 수 있는 방법 을 제안한다.

So far, most of research on automated test data generation(ATDG) deals with programs without pointers. Recently, few works hove been done on ATDG in the presence of pointers, but they ore path-oriented techniques which require the specification of on entire program path to be tested or a program to be executed. This paper presents a new technique for generating test data even without specifying a program path completely. The presented technique is a static technique which transforms the test data generation problem into a SAT(SATisfiability) problem and makes advantage of SAT solvers for ATDG. For the ends, we transform a program under test into Alloy which is the first-order relational logic and then produce test data via Alloy analyzer.

In general, test data generation techniques require the specification of an entire program path for automated test data generation. This paper presents a new way for generating test data automatically een without specifying a program path completely. For the ends, this paper presents a technique for transforming a program under test into Alloy which is the first order relational logic and then producing test data via Alloy analyzer. The proposed method reduces the burden of selecting a program path and also makes it easy to generate test data according to various test adequacy criteria. This paper illustrates the proposed method through simple, but illustrative examples.

Recently, lots of research on automated test data generation has been actively done. However, techniques for automated test data generation presented so far have been proved ineffective for programs with flag variables. It can present problems when considering embedded systems such as engine controllers that make extensive use of flag variables to record state information concerning devices. This paper introduces a technique for generating test data effectively for programs with flag variables. The presented technique transforms the test data generation problem into a SAT(SATisfiability) problem and makes advantage of SAT solvers for automated test data generation(ATDG). For the ends, we transform a program under test into Alloy which is the first-order relational logic and then produce test data via Alloy analyzer.

one key goal of software testing is to generate a 'good' test data set, which is consideres as the most difficult and time-consuming task. This paper discusses how genetic algorithns can be used for automatic generation of test data set for software testing. We employ mutation testing to show the effectiveness of genetic algorithms (GAs) in automatic test data generation. The approach presented in this paper is different from other in that test generation process requireas no lnowledge of implementation details of a program under test. In addition, we have conducted some experiments and compared our approach with random testing which is also regarded as a black-box test generation technique to show its effectiveness.

Software testing is important to determine the reliability of the system, a task that requires a lot of effort and cost. Model-based testing has been proposed as a way to reduce these costs by automating test designs from models that regularly represent system requirements. For each path of model to generate an input value to perform a test, meta-heuristic technique is used to find the test data. In this paper, we propose an automatic test data generation method using a slicing method and a priority policy, and suppress unnecessary computation by excluding variables not related to target path. And then, experimental results show that the proposed method generates test data more effectively than conventional method.

일반적으로 테스트 데이터 자동 생성을 지원하기 위해 심볼릭 실행기나 제약 해결기와 같은 도구를 요구한다. 그러나 이와 같은 도구들을 개발하는 것은 상당한 노력이 요구되는 것도 사실이다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 도구들의 지원 없이 분기 커버리지를 효과적으로 달성할 수 있는 테스트 데이터 생성 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 경로 지향 테스트 데이터 생성을 위해 개발된 Korel의 방법을 확장하여 프로그램의 분기들을 가능한 많이 실행할 수 있는 테스트 데이터를 효과적으로 생성하는 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, a new testing technique called concolic testing receives lots of attention. 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 only deals with integer type as input. This paper presents a new rule for automated test data generation in presence of inputs of pointer type. The rules effectively handles multi-level stack-directed pointers that are mainly used in C programs. In addition, we describe a tool named vCREST implementing the proposed rules together with the results of applying the tool to some C programs.

It is well known that software testing amounts for a significant portion of software development cost. In order to reduce the cost of software testing. a lot of researches on automated test data generation have been performed. Sophisticated tools for performing symbolic execution or solving a system of path constraints are required to support automated test data generation. Developing or purchasing those tools leads to another factor of increasing the cost involving software testing. In this paper, we propose a dynamic test data generation approach that does not depend on symbolic execution or constraint solving at all. The proposed approach extends Korel's path-oriented method to satisfy the branch coverage criterion effectively. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique with a triangle classification program to show that branch coverage can be easily achieved.
