A modular tool for automated coverage in software testing

Abstract

Software testing is an expensive and difficult process which need much time. For this reason, the existence of tools that allow to decrease this effort is very important. Our tool automatically generates test cases in order to obtain branch coverage in software testing from a source code. All process is automatic (source code instrumentation and test cases generation) and therefore the total time used in software testing is reduced. We describe the modules of the tool and present the result we have obtained compared the needed time to generate the test cases with manual instrumentation and the needed time with an automatic process.
