Abstract

Abstract-This paper introduces a technique to generate tests automatically for the legacy code by utilizing existing software assets. Many aspects of the legacy code needs to be tested, such as, classes, methods, interfaces, relations, dependencies, etc. The proposed technique automatically generates tests by examining software packages that use the system under test to be tested. It presents an automatic test method based on searching calls to the APIs being tested in available repositories, ranking the relevance of the mined calls, and using them to generate test cases. It makes three important contributions for the issue. First, it provides an automatic way to build a test skeleton. Second, it finds previously unknown bugs and obviously unused dead codes by achieving high test coverage. Finally, developers confidently make changes to the codes written by someone else.
自动化测试生成的基于参考的测试技术
摘要:本文介绍了一种利用现有软件资产为遗留代码自动生成测试的技术。遗留代码的许多方面都需要测试,例如,类、方法、接口、关系、依赖项等等。建议的技术通过检查使用待测试系统的软件包来自动生成测试。它提出了一种自动测试方法,该方法基于在可用存储库中搜索对正在测试的api的调用,对挖掘的调用的相关性进行排序,并使用它们生成测试用例。它为这个问题做出了三个重要贡献。首先,它提供了一种自动构建测试框架的方法。其次,它通过实现高测试覆盖率来发现以前未知的bug和明显未使用的死代码。最后,开发人员可以自信地修改其他人编写的代码。
