Automatic Random Regression Testing With Human Oracle

Overview

Automatic Random Regression Testing With Human Oracle is one of Chris Meudec's final year project proposals for the 2010/2011 academic year. AutoUnit is the software implementation of this proposal that I have developed during the year. AutoUnit is software which generates tests with random values for functions written in a subset of the C programming language. Given a C source-code file it will, for each supported function in the file:

• Generate random values for the parameters of the function
• Compile and execute the function and collect the result
• Display the generated inputs and result
• Verify with you that the result is the expected one
• Accept corrections from you if the result is not the expected one
• Save the generated inputs and expected result in a test database
• Generate CppUnit tests in the same folder as your source-code

Once tests have been created the software can be run periodically to automatically apply the generated CppUnit tests and report failures and errors. The software is provided in two parts:

• Command-line application
• Plug-in for the Eclipse CDT development environment
