Teaching Automated Test Data Generation Tools for C, C++ , and Java Programs

Software Testing cost 50% of the software development budget. Using automated tools we can reduce the testing cost. There are huge numbers of automated testing tools on the web. Teaching automated testing tools to students is an important topic for computer engineering students. Even faculties are not ware about the software testing tools.

In this paper, a platform is provided for easy way of learning some testing tools which is very helpful for teaching as well as practical software testing. Most popular languages like C, C++, Java languages testing tools are taken for illustration. Finally, different testing tools are compared with some criteria to understand the facilities and limitations available on testing tools. Our work can help students and faculty members to understand different testing tools and how to use the appropriate one for a programming language. We are using windows platform for our experiments.
