Popis: The time required to generate valid structurally complex inputs grows exponentially with the input size. It makes it hard to predict, for a given structure, the most feasible input size that is completely explorable within a time budget. Iterative deepening generates inputs of size n before those of size n + 1 and eliminates guesswork to find such size. We build on Korat algorithm for structural test generation and present iKorat - an incremental algorithm for efficient iterative deepening. It avoids redundant work as opposed to naive Korat-based iterative deepening by using information from smaller sizes, which is kept in a highly compact format.
