Abstract:

In pathoriented software testing, large systems generate vast amounts of static paths so that it is difficult to test all the paths for testers. This paper proposes the idea of hot path, by using this idea, it can quickly find the paths which easily generate flaws in many static paths. The tree structure of Hot Function can quickly locate Hot Spots and show them. It can bring more convenience to software testers, to improve the testing efficiency and to reduce the cost of testing.

Key words: static path;hot path;software testing
