Automating Equivalence Partitioning in Test Case Generation with a Computer Algebra System
Satoshi Hattori (Tokyo Inst. of Tech.) SS2009-24
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We try to use a computer algebra system Mathematica as a test case generation system. In this paper, we deal with black-box test case generation from a software specification described in Mathematica. We show two test case generation procedures described also in Mathematica. The first one is based on equivalence partitioning. Mathematica shows a case that test cases do no exist by a kind of theorem proving. This is an advantage in using Mathematica. The second procedure is a modification of the first one adopting boundary value analysis. For implementation of boundary value analysis, we give a formalization for it. Mathematica has a built-in function to solve equations and inequalities. This is the main reason why we take Mathematica. Mathematica is a functional programming language. By using the Map function, we can make a generation procedure compact.
