Abstract
PathCrawler is a test generation tool developed at CEA LIST for structural testing of C programs. The new version of PathCrawler is developed in an entirely novel form: that of a test-case generation web service which is freely accessible at PathCrawler-online.com. This service allows many test-case generation sessions to be run in parallel in a completely robust and secure way. This tool demo and teaching experience paper presents PathCrawler-online.com in the form of a lesson on structural software testing, showing its benefits, limitations and illustrating the usage of the tool on simple examples.
This work has been partially funded by several ANR projects.
