Abstract :
Test data generation is the core and key of software testing. Program executing methods of test data overcome the problem that static methods limit tested procedure, which shows some advantages, but program executing methods need support of searching algorithm. This paper presents a searching algorithm based on dynamic data, it judges speedy adjustment rang of variables of tested procedure and improves efficiency of test data generation.
