Isolating failure causes through test case generation
Manual debugging is driven by experiments—test runs that narrow down failure causes by systematically confirming or excluding individual factors. The BUGEX approach leverages t...

Finding and understanding bugs in C compilers
Compilers should be correct. To improve the quality of C compilers, we created Csmith, a randomized test-case generation tool, and spent three years using it to find compiler bug...

Exploiting Common Object Usage in Test Case Generation
—Generated test cases are good at systematically exploring paths and conditions in software. However, generated test cases often do not make sense. We adapt test case generation ...

An Evaluation of Model Checkers for Specification Based Test Case Generation
Under certain constraints the test case generation problem can be represented as a model checking problem, thus enabling the use of powerful model checking tools to perform the te...

Directed test suite augmentation: techniques and tradeoffs
Test suite augmentation techniques are used in regression testing to identify code elements affected by changes and to generate test cases to cover those elements. Our preliminary...

How did you specify your test suite
Although testing is central to debugging and software certification, there is no adequate language to specify test suites over source code. Such a language should be simple and c...

Test Case Generation Based on State and Activity Models
Abstract We propose a novel testing technique for object-oriented programs. Based on the state and activity models of a system, we construct an intermediate representation, which w...
