Abstract

System testing of software with command language interfaces can be automated using grammar based test generation or through generating tests from an application domain specification. When viewing test case generation as constructing a sequence of commands to achieve a testing goal, AI planning systems show promise. We report on automated test generation with an AI planning system and compare results to tests generated by Sleuth, a tool for automated application domain testing
