Abstract
A method is provided for generating a test case for testing a program, which can include analyzing instructions of the program to identify basic blocks and superblocks, each basic block containing at least one executable instruction, and each superblock containing a plurality of basic blocks. The method can include executing instructions by a processor to perform determining respective weights of superblocks, each weight representing a number of basic blocks which require execution when the superblock is executed; determining the constraints which cause a superblock having a high weight to be executed, and using the determined constraints to generate a test case which, upon execution of the program, causes the high weight superblock to be executed.
