Automated Incoup Tool for Coupling Based Integration Testing

Abstract

Software testing is the major part in the development of software. Testing acts as the main work to identify the faults in the software product and provide errors to rectify. To ensure the software quality, errors are to be rectified with various types of testing such as unit testing, specification, validation, integration and other types of testing. Here the major research concentrated on integration testing part where it tests the interactions of different components resides in the coding part and functionality of the project. One of the major part in the integration testing is the coupling based integration testing that is depend on coupling relationships that exist among different variables across different call sites in functions. The existing research for test data generation deal only unit level testing and there is no process for test data generation for coupling based integration testing. In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach for systematic test generation for coupling based integration testing of programs designed with object oriented concepts using stream reader functions. Our method, allows the user to load the two divisions of class files, split the class files and then compare it for class availability. We have implemented a prototype tool INCOUP IN Dot Net and successfully performed different class codes experiments for the generation of test data. In experiments with this tool, our proposed method has given much better results as compared to random testing and ECoup testing.
