An Automatic Testing Platform for Object-oriented Software based on Code Coverage

Abstract

The development of automatic object-oriented software testing tools is a challenging and realistic subject in the field of software engineering. A testing prototype system named ARTCovPS (Adaptive Random Testing Coverage-based testing Prototype System) is designed and implemented for the widely used object-oriented method software. ARTCovPS mainly performs automated testing from two aspects, dynamic test case generation of object-oriented software based on coverage and adaptive random testing method based on coverage. To a certain extent, ARTCovPS testing prototype system realizes the software test automation, and the system has a high running efficiency and can automatically run different comparison methods. The experimental results are satisfactory, and the feasibility of the system is also verified.
