Automated Test Data Generation Using Genetic Algorithms

Test Plan: The software is tested using two levels of testing viz. black box testing and white box testing. White box testing could be carried out in three different phases viz. unit testing system/integration testing and validation testing. • Unit Testing: Unit testing, also known as Module Testing, focuses verification efforts on the module. The module is tested separately and this is carried out at the programming stage itself.Unit Test comprises of the set of tests performed by an individual programmer before integration of the unit into the system. Unit test focuses on the smallest unit of software design- the software component or module. Using component level design, important control paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. Unit test is white box oriented and the step can be conducted in parallel for

Software engineering is a field of Computer science, for designing and writing programs for computers or other electronic devices. A software engineer writes software or changes existing software and compiles software using methods that make it better quality.

Software quality assurance is a very important part of the software development and installation. “The main objective of quality assurance is to avoid problems or to detect them as soon as possible” (Shelly, Cashman & Rosenblatt, 2003, p. 410).

Software engineering (SE) is the profession concerned with specifying, designing, developing and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.

Software project management is necessary to develop a high quality software product. Software project management involves the activities of planning, organizing, directing, monitoring and controlling. We are concerned with the risk factors which will affect the management activities and the developing project will not proceed according to the plan. The term “Risk” is a problem which can threaten the success of the software project. But we often assume that everything will go exactly, it is planned [1]. A challenge for IT industry is to develop software system that meets business needs. The fact is we have to deliver software that is free of bugs. The bugs in software can cause major loss in IT organization if they are not removed before delivery. Software testing is as old as the hills in the history of digital computers. The testing of software is an important means of assessing the software to determine its quality. Since testing typically consumes 40 - 50% of development efforts, and consumes more effort for systems that require higher levels of reliability, it is a significant part of the software engineering. Software testing is performed to support quality assurance [2].Good quality software can be made by using an efficient test method. Statistics say that 50% of the total cost of software development is devoted to software testing even it is more in

Now-a-days optimization and testing in software engineering using traditional techniques has become a tedious task. In order to fasten this process, search based-software engineering (SBSE) techniques are introduced to solve real world large scale problems efficiently. SBSE techniques consisting of several algorithms can be implemented throughout the software development life cycle in order to deliver a more reliable product. This paper reviews the application of five major SBSE methods and the issues solved by different practitioners in the last decade. It also addresses the problems in the implementation of these techniques which are still open for further research.

Software QA involves the entire software development PROCESS - monitoring and improving the process, making sure that any agreed-upon processes, standards and procedures are followed, and ensuring that problems are found and dealt with. It is oriented to 'prevention '

Software testing is the one type of procedure of secure that the products which is created by the developer or programmer for the user or customer which meets all the user requirements.

Introduction: Software testing is a very important part of software development process. Software testing is a very important part of software development process. Software testing is analysis of a system by giving defined inputs and contrasting them with the desired outputs to check the errors between the desired and actual outputs and correct them. Essentially software testing can be separated into two classes manual testing, automated software testing.

This will help us to understand the errors which are very common in software development and it will also help us in implementation of testing process to make it easier, cost effective and save our time of the testing process.

Software Engineering is an engineering discipline which is concerned with all aspect of software production. It also concerned with all aspects of computer-based systems development including hardware, software, and process engineering.
