Abstract

We present a new method for automated test case generation based on symbolic execution and a custom process of interpolation. The method first identifies program execution paths in order to define a corresponding set of test inputs. It then annotates the program with assertions so as to identify feasible and infeasible cases, the former of which are processed to produce the desired test inputs. The main contribution is that performing symbolic execution using a custom form of interpolation significantly prunes the search space. Our main result is that the set of Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC) test cases we produce is optimal.

生成最佳MC/DC测试用例
提出了一种基于符号执行和自定义插值过程的自动化测试用例生成方法。该方法首先确定程序执行路径,以便定义一组相应的测试输入。然后用断言注释程序,以便识别可行和不可行的情况,处理前者以产生所需的测试输入。它的主要贡献是使用自定义形式的插值执行符号,从而显著地减少了搜索空间。我们的主要结果是,我们生成的修改条件/决策覆盖(MC/DC)测试用例集是最优的。
