Abstract

In this paper, we have developed an approach to generate test data for path coverage based testing using genetic algorithm. We have used control flow graph and cyclomatic complexity of the example program to find out the number of feasible paths present in the program and compared it with the actual number of paths covered by genetic algorithm. We have used genetic algorithm for generating test data automatically. We have shown that our algorithm is giving cent percent coverage, successfully covering all feasible paths. In our approach, we have observed that genetic algorithm is much more effective in generating test data within less time period, giving better coverage.
