Immune and Evolutionary Approaches to Software Mutation Testing
We present an Immune Inspired Algorithm, based on CLONALG, for software test data evolution. Generated tests are evaluated using the mutation testing adequacy criteria, and used to...

Software partitioning for effective automated unit testing
A key problem for effective unit testing is the difficulty of partitioning large software systems into appropriate units that can be tested in isolation. We present an approach th...

Nighthawk: a two-level genetic-random unit test data generator
Randomized testing has been shown to be an effective method for testing software units. However, the thoroughness of randomized unit testing varies widely according to the settin...
