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 can also utilize the prior knowledge on software testing. In experiments‚ we compare effectiveness of our MCMC-based random testing with both ordinary random testing and adaptive
