This paper discusses random testing, which is a simple approach to test case generation for software testing. A notable feature of this approach is its high speed in test generation. Besides, it has been shown that random testing can probabilistically cover more than 63 percent of parameter interactions even if it only uses as many test cases as in the smallest test suite for combinatorial interaction testing. However, this property does not hold if constraints exist on parameter values: in that case, some particular interactions may have much smaller probability of being covered than the theoretical one. This can happen if there are only few possible test cases that have the interactions and satisfy the constraints.In this paper we consider a variant of a random test case generation method where each parameter is sequentially assigned a value such that given constraints are always satisfied by any incomplete or complete test cases. We then provide a theoretical lower bound on the probability of a given interaction being covered. In addition, we experimentally show that the actual probability is much higher than the theoretical bound and the one that is achieved by naive random testing. |
