SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
It is important to generate useful test cases to ensure the quality of software programs. Modern software programs are built upon code written in different programming languages. Automatic test case generation for such programs is very powerful but suffers from a key limitation. That is, most current test case generation techniques fail to cover testee code when covering that code requires additional pieces of code that are not yet part of the program under test. To address some of these cases, the Pex state-of-the-art test case generator can generate basic mock code. However, current test case generators cannot handle cases in which the code under test uses multiple interfaces, annotations, or reflection.
