Abstract

RANDOOP for Java generates unit tests for Java code using feedback-directed random test generation. Below we describe RANDOOP's input, output, and test generation algorithm. We also give an overview of RANDOOP's annotation-based interface for specifying configuration parameters that affect RANDOOP's behavior and output.
