摘要：

Software test generation can take place at the function level or the system level; and be driven by random, constraint-based, and/or search-based techniques. In this paper, we argue that the best way to generate tests is at the system level, as it avoids false failures due to implicit preconditions; and that for testing at the system level, search-based techniques are best suited as they avoid the combinatorial explosion of conditions due to long paths.
