Abstract

Unit testing verifies the presence of faults in individual software components. Previous research has been targeting the automatic generation of unit tests through the adoption of random or search-based algorithms. Despite their effectiveness, these approaches aim at creating tests by solely optimizing metrics like code coverage, without ensuring that the resulting tests have granularities that would allow them to verify both the behavior of individual production methods and the interaction between methods of the class under test.
