Distributed T-way Test Suite Generator System Using Master Worker Execution Model

Abstract

Advancement of software is always in line with its capacity. When the software is large, considering all exhaustive testing is impossible. Sequentially implemented t-way testing strategies have been reported of its efficiency in the past literature to address the aforementioned issues; however, they suffer limited memory and retarded performance. Distributed computing appears to be a good avenue in this case. In this paper, we propose the implementation of twayGenerator (our previous work of sequential t-way testing strategy) in a distributed system by using Master Worker execution model. The speedup performance is the main concern in the research. It is generally predicted the degree of increment of speedup performance could be improved based on the number of computers used to run the test cases generation. The expected outcomes and practical results have been cited out based on the supportive discussions.
