The influence of size and coverage on test suite effectiveness

AS Namin, JH Andrews - … of the eighteenth international symposium on …, 2009 - dl.acm.org

Generating effective test suites by combining coverage criteria

G Gay - Search Based Software Engineering: 9th International …, 2017 - Springer
A number of criteria have been proposed to judge test suite adequacy. While search-based
test generation has improved greatly at criteria coverage, the produced suites are still often …

Whole test suite generation

G Fraser, A Arcuri - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Not all bugs lead to program crashes, and not always is there a formal specification to check
the correctness of a software test's outcome. A common scenario in software testing is …
