Abstract

A method for generating a new test for a set of software code is provided. The method includes accessing a plurality of existing unit tests; implementing a machine learning algorithm; determining intended objectives of the set of software code; selecting a subset of the plurality of existing unit tests based on the determined objectives and an output of the machine learning algorithm; and using the selected unit tests to automatically generate the new test.
