Abstract
A system and method provide for determining optimal input combinations useable in testing program code that includes user interface intensive workflows. Various embodiments provides for determining an input set corresponding to the target program code, determining mutually exclusive feature groups corresponding to the input set and determining a set of optimal input combinations corresponding to the feature groups. A more specific embodiment provides for determining the set of optimal input combinations in accordance with a linked or unlinked gear approach.
Claims32
A test optimization method comprising:
- determining an initial representative set of inputs corresponding to target program code to obtain an input set;
- selecting feature groups corresponding to the input set;
- and
- determining a set of optimal input combinations corresponding to the feature groups to obtain an optimal input combination set.
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a test optimization system to perform the steps of:
- determining an input set corresponding to target program code;
- selecting feature groups corresponding to the input set;
- and
- determining a set of optimal input combinations corresponding to the feature groups to obtain an optimal input combination set.
A test optimization system, comprising:
- means for determining an initial representative set of inputs corresponding to target program code to obtain an input set;
- means for selecting feature groups corresponding to the input set;
