ABSTRACT:
An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a system for facilitating coverage feedback testcase generation reproducibility. The system comprises a domain definition input file for defining a coverage domain element and an internal coverage domain data store in communication with the domain definition input file. The internal coverage domain data store stores domain definitions collected from the domain definition input file as well as updates made to the coverage domain element. The system also includes a test case generator in communication with the internal coverage domain data store. The test case generator generates testcases. The system also includes a pseudo-random generated seed assigned to a successfully generated testcase. The successfully generated testcase is replicated without generating each prior testcase utilizing the pseudo-random generated seed. The replication includes an initial coverage state for the successfully generated testcase.
