This paper discusses genetic algorithms that can automatically generate test cases to test selected path. This algorithm takes a selected path as a target and executes sequences of operators iteratively for test cases to evolve. The evolved test case can lead the program execution to achieve the target path. An automatic path-oriented test data generation is not only a crucial problem but also a hot issue in the research area of software testing today. As a robust metaheuritstic search method in complex spaces, genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to path-oriented test data generation since 1992 and outperforms other approaches.
