As a software system evolves, its test suite can accumulate redundancies over time. Test
minimization aims at removing redundant test cases. However, current techniques remove …

In recent years, researchers have intensively investigated various topics in test-case
prioritization, which aims to re-order test cases to increase the rate of fault detection during …

Test coverage is a standard measure used to evaluate the completeness of a test suite.
Coverage is typically computed on source code, by assessing the extent of source code …

Many studies suggest using coverage concepts, such as branch coverage, as the starting
point of testing, while others as the most prominent test quality indicator. Yet the relationship …

A test coverage criterion defines a set E/sub r/of entities of the program flowgraph and
requires that every entity in this set is covered under some test Case. Coverage criteria are …

Automated test generation techniques typically aim at maximising coverage of well-
established structural criteria such as statement or branch coverage. In practice, generating …

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are used as front ends to most of today's software
applications. The event-driven nature of GUIs presents new challenges for testing. One …

Search‐based unit test generation, if effective at fault detection, can lower the cost of testing.
Such techniques rely on fitness functions to guide the search. Ultimately, such functions …

Without complete formal specification, automatically generated software tests need to be
manually checked in order to detect faults. This makes it desirable to produce the strongest …

Test coverage criteria including boundary-value and logical coverage such as Modified
Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC) have been increasingly used in safety-critical or …
