SUMMARYDistributed concolic testing (DCT) for complex programs takes a remarkable computational time. Also, the achieved modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) for such programs is often inadequate. We propose an improved DCT approach that reduces the computational time and simultaneously enhanced the MC/DC. We have named our approach SMCDCT (scalable MC/DC percentage calculator using DCT). Our experimental study on forty-five C programs indicates 6.62% of average increase in MC/DC coverage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
