DART: directed automated random testing
We present a new tool, named DART, for automatically testing software that combines three main techniques: (1) automated extraction of the interface of a program with its external...

An empirical study of the robustness of MacOS applications using random testing
We report on the fourth in a series of studies on the reliability of application programs in the face of random input. Over the previous 15 years, we have studied the reliability ...

Path-oriented random testing
Test campaigns usually require only a restricted subset of paths in a program to be thoroughly tested. As random testing (RT) offers interesting fault-detection capacities at low ...

Random Test Run Length and Effectiveness
Abstract—A poorly understood but important factor in random testing is the selection of a maximum length for test runs. Given a limited time for testing, it is seldom clear wheth...

On the Predictability of Random Tests for Object-Oriented Software
Intuition suggests that random testing of object-oriented programs should exhibit a high difference in the number of defects detected by two different runs over the same amount of...
