Abstract
In this paper we propose a framework to compute MC/DC percentage for distributed test case generation. MC/DC stands for Modified Condition/Decison Coverage [1]. This approach uses several client nodes to generate the non-redundant test cases in a distributed and scalable manner. To achieve an increase in MC/DC, we transform the input C program, P, into its transformed version, P ′, using Ex-NCT. A coverage analyzer accepts P along with the generated test cases as input from SCORE framework and outputs the MC/DC percentage. The experimental studies show that SMCDCT approach achieves 6.5 % (approx.) of average increase in MC/DC. This increase in MC/DC percentage is achieved in an average computation time of 7.1622715 seconds.
