An algorithm for automatically generating black-box test cases

Selection of test cases plays a key role in improving testing efficiency. Black-box testing is an important way of testing, and its validity lies on the selection of test cases in some sense. A reasonable and effective method about the selection and generation of test cases is urgently needed. This letter first introduces some usual methods on black-box test case generation, then proposes a new algorithm based on interface parameters and discusses its properties, finally shows the effectiveness of the algorithm.
