Abstract: Studies have shown that in the area of testing data-flow coverage is often more effective in exposing errors compared to other approaches such as branch coverage. Thus, evaluating and generating test cases with respect to the data-flow coverage is desirable. Unfortunately, data-flow coverage is rarely considered in practice due to the lack of appropriate tools. Existing tools are typically based on static analysis and cannot distinguish between traversable and non-traversable data flows. They also have typically difficulties with properly handling aliasing and complex data structures. Thus, we propose a tool for dynamically analyzing the data-flow coverage which avoids all these drawbacks. In combination with our existing test-case generator, it enables the creation of an (almost) minimal set of test cases that guarantee all data flows to be covered. We have evaluated our tool based on a couple of benchmarks.
