Abstract
Software industry produces high quality software, in that software testing plays a vital role. In software testing automatic generation can reduce the process time and cost. Automatic generation of object-oriented unit tests in software testing is a challenging task especially in white box testing. In software engineering Software testing becomes challenging issue with the development of software tools. Using Genetic Algorithm will provide best results in the software testing toolkit. This paper suggests an upgrading of automated search-based test generation of test cases in order to obtain high branch coverage in white box testing. The proposed technique outperforms providing greater efficiency in testing technique which combines Genetic Algorithm and Symbolic Execution named GASE. GASE automatically generates test data in order to obtain high branch coverage in white box testing aiming effective testing process which can be extended for software testing in cloud computing where it becomes necessity.
