The State Problem for Evolutionary Testing
Abstract. This paper shows how the presence of states in test objects can hinder or render impossible the search for test data using evolutionary testing. Additional guidance is re...

Aiding Test Case Generation in Temporally Constrained State Based Systems Using Genetic Algorithms
Generating test data for formal state based specifications is computationally expensive. This paper improves a framework that addresses this issue by representing the test data ge...

Longer is Better: On the Role of Test Sequence Length in Software Testing
In the presence of an internal state, often it is required a sequence of function calls to test software. In fact, to cover a particular branch of the code, a sequence of previous...
