Dynamic Test Data Generation using Negative Selection Algorithm and Equivalence Class Partitioning
Main Article Content
Abstract
Test data generation is challenging in software testing. Huge amount of generated test data is used to expose faults in the software. Test data generated inefficiently leads extra efforts. In path testing different independent paths generated from Control Flow Graph (CFG) are forced to traverse by test data. In the present paper, we proposed a novel technique to dynamically reduce test data based on Equivalence partitioning of output domain. Paths which are functionally meaningful are considered for test data generation. Experiments are performed on benchmark programs.
