METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MINING TEST COVERAGE DATA PRIORITY CLAIM AND RELATED APPLICATION

摘要

A method of mining test coverage data includes: at a device having one or more processors and memory: sequentially processing each of a plurality of coverage data files that is generated by executing the program using a respective test input of a plurality of test inputs, where the processing of each current coverage data file extracts respective execution counter data from the current coverage data file；after processing each current coverage data file, determining whether the respective execution counter data extracted from the current coverage data file includes a predetermined change relative to the respective execution counter data extracted from previously processed coverage data files；and in response to detecting the predetermined change for the current coverage data file, including the respective test input used to generate the current coverage data file in a test input collection for testing the program.
