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. Dissimilar to existing random testing schemes such as adaptive random testing‚ our approach

Another assumption of the Cognitive Approach is that the human mind should be compared to a computer to see how it works. Cognitive psychologists believe humans input information (senses)‚ process it (memory‚ perception etc.) and output it (behaviour)
