Automatic generation of basis test path using clonal selection algorithm

Path testing is one of the powerful coverage criteria in white box testing. In path testing every logical path has to be executed at least once but it is extremely difficult to execute or test the entire path for given program. So instead of executing all the paths a set of independent path are executed which are called as basis set path. In this paper we proposed novel approach for the utilization of Clonal selection Algorithm to automatically generate set of basis path. Experiments have been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed path generation technique. And the results show that the proposed technique causes reduction in path generation effort and time.
