Performance of Random Testing Through Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods Bo Zhou‚ Hiroyuki Okamura‚ Member‚ IEEE‚ and Tadashi Dohi‚ Member‚ IEEE Abstract—In this paper‚ we propose a probabilistic approach to finding failure-causing inputs based on Bayesian estimation. According to our probabilistic insights of software testing‚ the test case generation algorithms are developed by Markov chain Mote Carlo (MCMC) methods.
