Improving a Test Case Generation Method for Faulty Interaction Location

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper discusses the location of interaction faults in software interaction testing.In our previous
study we proposed an approach to generate a test suite that can be used to identify a faulty interaction.This
approach works as follows.First, a test set is generated using an existing method for pair-wise testing.Second,
pair-wise interactions that cannot be located by the test set are enumerated.Finally, test cases are repeatedly
added to the test set until all pair-wise interactions can be located.In our previous study, we implemented an
algorithm that follows this approach and showed that it is possible to locate a faulty interaction by using a test
set that is approximately three times larger than that of pair-wise testing.In this work, we improve the algorithm
by modifying the second step, where test cases are selected so that interactions that could not be identi ed can
be located.The results of applying the new algorithm to some problem instances show that the modi cation can
reduce the number of test cases, which is nearly two and a half times of that of pair-wise testing.
