A Complete Automation of Unit Testing for Java Programs

Abstract—Program testing is expensive and laborintensive, often consuming more than half of the total development costs, and yet it is frequently not done well and the results are not always satisfactory. However, testing is the primary method to ensure that programs comply with requirements. We describe our on-going project that attempts to completely automate unit testing of objectoriented programs. Our project investigates the use of an evolutionary approach, called genetic algorithms, for test data generation and the use of program specifications, written in JML, for test result determination.
