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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

With recent increased expectations for quality, and the growth of agile processes and test
driven development, developers are expected to do more and more effective unit testing …

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 …

Software testing is indispensable and is one of the most discussed topics in software
development today. Many companies address this issue by assigning a dedicated software …

Automatic unit test generation that explores the input space and produces effective test
cases for given programs have been studied for decades. Many unit test generation tools …
