Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Combinatorial testing is a specification-based testing criterion, which requires that for each t-way combination of input parameters of a system, every combination of valid values of these t parameters be covered by at least one test case. In this paper, we propose new test generation algorithms based on two artificial life techniques for combinatorial testing. We implement these new algorithms for the cases t= 2 and t= 3. We show the results of comparison with existing methods. We also discuss constraints and hierarchy between the test parameters.
