Improving Test Generation under Rich Contracts by Tight Bounds and Incremental SAT Solving

We present a novel and general technique for automated test generation that combines tight bounds with incremental SAT solving. The proposed technique uses incremental SAT to build test suites targeting a specific testing criterion, amongst various black-box and white-box criteria. As our experimental results show, the combination of tight bounds with incremental SAT, and the testing criterion driven approach implemented in our prototype tool …
