White box testing tool prototype development

摘要

Nowadays, software testing is viewed as an important phase in software engineering life cycle as it aims to improve the quality of software under development. Due to limited software testing tools available for free, many developers cannot do a comprehensive testing to the software under development before launching the software. For this reason, this research aims to provide a prototype of a software testing tool that can be used as an initial base model for further development. The tool implements white box testing method that means the testing explores source codes of software under test to find the errors inside. We focus on one of data flow coverage techniques known as all p-uses coverage. The tool is able to calculate the all p-uses coverage percentage of the software under testing.
