Manual Test Metrics in Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

Abstract Software testing is a significant activity of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) that can overcome possibility of error in every single development step. Software testing is most often used technique for verifying and validating the quality of software. Software testing that concern with the internal mechanism of a systems and mainly focus on control flow or data flow a program is called White box testing. White box testing is classified into static and structural testing. Type of white box testing that is used in this paper is structural testing. Path coverage and code complexity is a sub testing within the scope of structural testing. Path coverage split a program into a number of distinct paths. In this paper, structural graph and data flow graph is used to ease the tester to find path in a program by mapping out the program and software testing metrics is used to describe the effectiveness and quality of that processes that produce the software product. This paper did manual testing for genetic algorithm program, such as mapping the genetic algorithm program into the control flow graph, create test cases to provide some possibility inputs that can be handled by program, execute test cases, analyze, and calculate the software manual test process metrics.
