Abstract
Software built in self test computer programsare generated using a genetic algorithmtechnique. A fault simulatoris used to simulate candidate software built in self test computer programs and compare the simulated execution, such to deliberately introduced test faults, with expected execution outcomes previously derived for that candidate program to determine the sensitivity of that candidate program to the faults which are introduced. This score can be fed back into the genetic algorithm mutation to converge the mutation process upon appropriately fault sensitive software built in self test program code.
