Test data generation based on a formal analysis of the project configuration

This article discusses a problem of test data preparation for functional testing with a defined level of test coverage. Application of the method simplifies the management of software project configuration, keeping requirements, code and tests in a consistent state. Classification of software deffects is presented in the article. An approach the formalizing the target system code and requirements analysis is proposed. This method is based on the representation of equivalence class partitioning as logical equations. An original method to get equations solutions is also provided. Method applicability in real industrial projects is discussed.
