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 canreduce thetesting cost. Thereare huge numbersof automated testing tools on the web. Teaching automated testingtools to students is an important topic for computer engineering students. Even faculties are not ware aboutthe software testing tools.In this paper, a platform is provided for easy way of learning some testing tools which is very helpful forteaching as well as practical software testing. Most popular languages like C, C++, Java languages testingtools are taken for illustration. Finally, different testing tools are compared with some criteria tounderstand the facilities and limitationsavailable on testing tools. Our work can help students and facultymembers to understand different testing tools and how to use the appropriate one for a programminglanguage. We are using windows platform for our experiments.
