Summary of SWFC-ART: A Cost-effective Approach for Fixed-Size-Candidate-Se
Abstract
This extended abstract presents an approach to enhance the Fixed-Sized-Candidate-Set Adaptive Random Testing (FSCS-ART) sampling strategy. SWFC-ART, the proposed approach, stores the previously-executed, non-failure-causing test cases into a Hierarchical Navigable Small World Graph (HNSWG) data structure and uses an efficient and consistent Nearest Neighbor Search (NNS) mechanism, especially for high-dimensional input domains. Our experiments show that SWFC-ART reduces the computational overhead of FSCS-ART from quadratic to log-linear order while retaining the failure-detection effectiveness of FSCS-ART.
