Abstract: This paper proposes a minimal test suite generation method. It presents a new method for test suite reduction that attempts to use addition coverage information of test cases to selectively keep some additional test cases in the reduced suites that are redundant with respect to the test criteria used for test suite minimization. It implements the method by modifying an existing heuristic for test suite minimization. Comparing with the existing methods, it can improve the fault detection capability of reduced test suites without severely affecting the extent of suite reduction.

Key words: software test, test criteria, test suite minimization

摘要: 提出一种最小测试用例集的生成方法。保留在某个测试标准下冗余,但在其他测试标准下不冗余的测试用例,即在测试用例集简化期间通过有选择性地保留测试用例来生成一个测试用例集。与已有方法相比,该方法能在不影响测试组大小范围的情况下有效提高错误检测效率。
