MAEST: multi-agent environment for software testing

The test is a significant aspect of software development and plays a considerable role in detecting errors in the implementation phase. As the software becomes more pervasive and more often employed to achieve critical tasks, it will be increasingly required to be of high quality. Significant reductions in the cost of software development and software maintenance could be achieved if we can find efficient ways to perform effective and rapid testing process. Key words: Testing agent, multi-agent, test cases, testing process
INTRODUCTION Software testing is a very labour-intensive and very expensive process. Studies indicate that more than fifty percent of the total cost of software development with the percentage for testing [...]
