  • Abstract
    Automatic testing tools allow huge savings but they do not exonerate the user from thinking carefully about what they want testing to achieve. To successfully use the Path Crawler-online structural testing tool, the user must provide not only the full source code, but also must set the test parameters and program the oracle. This demands a different"mindset" from that used for informal functional-style manual testing, as we explain with the help of several examples.
