Automated Test Data Generation for Aspect-Oriented Programs

Despite the upsurge of interest in the Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm, there remain few results on test data generation techniques for AOP. Furthermore, there is no work on search based optimization for test data generation, an approach that has been shown to be successful in other programming paradigms. This paper introduces a search-based optimization approach to automated test data generation for structural coverage of AOP systems.
