一种用于白盒测试评估的错误播种方法

Fault seeding approach used in evaluation of white-box testing technique

软件错误播种方法不仅可以用来评价软件的性能和研究软件错误的特性,而且还可通过播种错误为软件测试方法的评估提供必要的条件。考虑到白盒测试所针对的错误类型是程序代码级错误,为了方便错误播种,将程序代码错误分为计算型错误、域错误和程序接口错误,并针对这3类错误提供了一种改进的基于程序变异的软件错误播种方法。

Software fault seeding approach play a great role not only on evaluating the software capability and studying the fault charac- teristic, but also on providing the necessary condition to measure the ability of inspecting certain types of faults of a testing technique. It is considered that white-box testing is aimed at program code-based faults and the convenience of faults seeding. The faults about program code are categorized as computation faults, domain faults and interface faults. An improved fault seeding approach based program mu- tation aimed at these faults is provided.
