Automated unit test generation has been extensively studied in the literature in recent years.
Previous studies on open source systems have shown that test generation tools are quite …

Rather than tediously writing unit tests manually, tools can be used to generate them
automatically-sometimes even resulting in higher code coverage than manual testing. But …

Unit testing is a common practice where developers write test cases together with regular
code. Automation frameworks such as JUnit for Java have popularised this approach …

Not all object oriented code is easily testable: Dependency objects might be difficult or even
impossible to instantiate, and object-oriented encapsulation makes testing potentially simple …

Instituting an automated unit testing practice across a large software development team can
be technically challenging and time consuming. As a result, teams may question the …

This paper presents an automatic technique for generating maintainable regression unit
tests for programs. We found previous test generation techniques inadequate for two main …

We describe a framework for randomized unit testing, and give empirical evidence that
generating unit test cases randomly and then minimizing the failing test cases results in …

Automated unit test generation tools can produce tests that are superior to manually written
ones in terms of code coverage, but are these tests helpful to developers while they are …

Maintaining unit test cases is important during the maintenance and evolution of a software
system. In particular, automatically documenting these unit test cases can ameliorate the …

Randomized unit test cases can be very effective in detecting defects. In practice, however,
failing test cases often comprise long sequences of method calls that are tiresome to …
