KeYTestGen2: an automatic, verification-driven test case generator

Software testing is a verification technique common in contemporary software engineering processes, both the development of the system itself, as well as subsequent quality assurance, maintenance and extension. It suffers, however, from the drawback that writing high quality test cases is an error prone and resource heavy process. This work describes KeYTestGen2, a verification-driven, automatic test case generation system. It addresses the problem of automatically generating robust test code by relying on symbolic execution of Java source code using the KeY Symbolic Debugger. This process yields sufficiently detailed data about software systems in order to generate tests of high quality. KeYTestGen2 implements a robust processing system which can both control this process, and mold the generated data into executable test suites for modern automated testing frameworks, such as JUnit.
