Title
Structural Sampling for Statistical Software Testing
Abstract
Structural Statistical Software Testing exploits the control flow\r\ngraph of the program being tested to construct test cases. \r\nWhile test cases can easily be extracted from {em feasible paths} in the control \r\nflow graph, that is, paths which are actually exerted for some \r\nvalues of the program input, the feasible path region is a tiny fraction \r\nof the graph paths (less than $10^{-5}]$ for medium size programs).\r\nThe S4T algorithm presented in this paper aims to address this limitation; \r\nas an Active Relational Learning Algorithm, it uses the few feasible paths\r\ninitially available to sample new feasible paths. The difficulty comes \r\nfrom the non-Markovian nature of the feasible path concept, due to the \r\nlong-range dependencies between the nodes in the control flow graph. \r\nExperimental validation on real-world and artificial problems \r\ndemonstrates significant improvements compared to the state of the art.
