论文摘要
自动测试生成有助于降低软件测试的成本。但是，为这些自动生成的测试输入开发有效的测试牙齿是一项具有挑战性的任务。因此，大多数自动化测试生成工具都使用微不足道的甲壳，以降低这些自动生成的测试用例的故障检测有效性。在这项工作中，我们提供了一项实证研究的结果，表明利用变质关系可以提高自动生成的测试案例的故障检测有效性。
Automated test generation has helped to reduce the cost of software testing. However, developing effective test oracles for these automatically generated test inputs is a challenging task. Therefore, most automated test generation tools use trivial oracles that reduce the fault detection effectiveness of these automatically generated test cases. In this work, we provide results of an empirical study showing that utilizing metamorphic relations can increase the fault detection effectiveness of automatically generated test cases.
