abstract = "The focus of this paper is on presenting a tool for
generating test data by employing evolutionary search
techniques, with basis on the information provided by
the structural analysis and interpretation of the Java
bytecode of third-party Java components, and on the
dynamic execution of the instrumented test object. The
main objective of this approach is that of evolving a
set of test cases that yields full structural code
coverage of the test object. Such a test set can be
used for effectively performing the testing activity,
providing confidence in the quality and robustness of
the test object.
The rationale of working at the bytecode level is that even when the source code is unavailable structural testing requirements can still be derived, and used to assess the quality of a test set and to guide the evolutionary search towards reaching specific test goals.",
