Automatické generování testovacích dat informačních systémů

Abstract

Nastroj ISAGENumoznuje automaticke generovanie komplexnych sturkturovanych testovacich vstupov imitujucich realnu komunikaciu z prostredia modernych informacnych systemov. Komplexne data, typicky so strukturou stromu v sucasnosti predstavuju zakladny transportacny prostriedok pre prenos informacii medzi uzlami distribuovanych informacnych systemov. Automaticky generator ISAGENvychadza z metodologie datami riadeneho testovania a vyuziva konkretne data z produkcneho prostredia ako hlavnu charakteristiku a specifikaciu pre riadenie generovania novych podobnych dat pre testovacie pripady splnajuce zadane kombinacne kriteria. Hlavnym prinosom tejto prace je obsiahle predlozenie technik pre automatizovane generovanie dat spolocne s praktickou implementaciou, ktora demonstruje ich pouzitie. Vytvorene riesenie umoznuje testerom vytvarat viac relevantne testovacie data, ktore vhodne reprezentuju realnu komunikaciu z produkcnych informacnych systemov.

ISAGENis a tool for the automatic generation of structurally complex test inputs that imitate real communication in the context of modern information systems . Complex, typically tree-structured data currently represents the standard means of transmitting information between nodes in distributed information systems. Automatic generator ISAGENis founded on the methodology of data-driven testing and uses concrete data from the production environment as the primary characteristic and specification that guides the generation of new similar data for test cases satisfying given combinatorial adequacy criteria. The main contribution of this thesis is a comprehensive proposal of automated data generation techniques together with an implementation, which demonstrates their usage. The created solution enables testers to create more relevant testing data, representing production-like communication in information systems.
