A framework for testing object oriented programs using hybrid nature inspired algorithms

Abstract

Software testing is a very vital and inevitable phase of software development for ensuring the quality and trustworthiness of software. In this work a framework has been proposed for effective testing of object oriented programs by generating test cases using UML behavioral models. The proposed technique ensures the transition coverage as well as path coverage. In this framework we have employed a hybrid simulated annealing based cuckoo search algorithm to generate optimized test cases for bench mark triangle classification problem.
