Abstract

Random Testing is a strategy to select test cases based on pure randomness. Adaptive Random Testing (ART), a family of algorithms, improves pure Random Testing by taking common failure pattern into account. The best—in terms of the number of test cases necessary to detect the first failure—ART algorithms, however, are too runtime inefficient. Therefore, a modification of a fast, but not so good ART algorithm, namely ART by Bisection, is presented. This modification requires much less test cases than the original method while retaining its computational efficiency.
