Abstract

Software testing is meant to increase confidence in the correctness of software. Test data generation is one of the key issues in software testing. A properly generated test suite may not only locate the errors in a software system, but also help in reducing the high cost associated with software testing. It is often desired that test data in the form of test sequences within a test suite can be automatically generated to achieve the required test coverage. This paper proposes Genetic Algorithm (GA) to test data generation for optimising the software testing.
