Software and its engineering software testing and debugging. Systematic software testing artech house computer library. The advantage of this approach is that it requires little or no software development. This book describes how to use a preventive method of testing, which parallels the software development lifecycle, and explains how to create and subsequently use test plans, test design, and test metrics. Systematic software testing rick david craig, stefan p. Structurally complex means that the inputs are structural e. We introduce a novel approach to reduce the cost of the korat search in. A systematic approach to testing automotive control software.
Korat is a tool for constraintbased generation of structurally complex test inputs for java programs. A test approach is the test strategy implementation of a project, defines how testing would be carried out. A framework to enhance korat to better support testing. Systematic software testing 1, 3, 5, 14, 16, 21, 27, which has its roots in the core. The main insight into the korat solver was executiondriven pruning and isomorphism. Chandra boyapati electrical engineering university of michigan.
Logical constraints play an important role in software testing and reliability. Korat introduced the idea of using declarative constraints written in an imperative language for boundedexhaustive testing and presented a dedicated solver for such constraints.
