Abstract: A system and a method for automating unit test case including generating a codebase extract by analysing an application source code, identifying one or more potential executable paths within a selected class or method based on an analysis of the codebase extract, executing one or more statements associated with each of the one or more potential paths using a symbolic execution technique and identifying one or more calls to external dependencies associated with the respective paths, and subsequently, a hint for spying and mocking respective external dependencies is generated, as a by-product of symbolic execution on identification of the external dependencies, whereby each hint is updated with respective ideal return value, and a unit test case for testing a selected class or method is generated by processing the hints with test data and an exclusion list.

Abstract: A system and a method for automating unit test case generation is disclosed. The present invention provides generating a codebase extract by analysing an application source code. Further, one or more potential executable paths within a selected class or method are identified based on an analysis of the codebase extract. Furthermore, one or more statements associated with each of the one or more potential paths are executed using a symbolic execution technique and one or more calls to external dependencies associated with the respective paths are identified. Subsequently, a hint for spying and mocking respective external dependencies is generated, as a by-product of symbolic execution on identification of the external dependencies. Yet further, each hint is updated with respective ideal return value. Finally, a unit test case for testing a selected class or method is generated by processing the hints with test data and an exclusion list.
