Sandeep Dalal, Rajender Singh Chhillar . A Novel Technique for Generation of Test Cases based on Bee Colony Optimization and Modified Genetic Algorithm (BCOmGA). International Journal of Computer Applications. 68, 19 ( April 2013), 12-16. DOI=10.5120/11687-7359
Software testing is the most important phase of software development life cycle which ensures the quality of software systems. This paper proposes a novel approach for generation of test cases from "Unified Modeling Language" (UML). The Test Case Selection and Reduction is done by using Stratified Sampling, Bee Colony Optimization and Genetic Algorithm. This aims to save cost, time and effort by efficiently minimizing the test suite to ensure maximum coverage. We have applied this technique to a module of a Card Administration System project taken from Software Company. The result shows that the proposed approach effectively detects all the flaws by covering all possible paths of the system. The proposed software testing technique (BCOmGA) ensures maximum coverage in minimum possible timeframe by executing the final minimized test suite.
