Abstract

Software testing is one of the most challenging and arduous phase of software development life cycle (SDLC) which helps in determining the software quality. Code coverage is a widely used testing paradigm, which describes the degree to which the code has been tested. Aim of the current paper is to propose an optimised code coverage algorithm with the help of an emerging technique, i.e., intelligent water drop (IWD). This approach uses dynamic parameters for finding all the optimal paths using basic properties of natural water drops. It proposes how test cases can be considered as an IWD moving on the edges of the control dependency graph for finding the optimal paths. The algorithm guarantees complete code coverage by generating automated test sequences.
