Abstract
In software testing, the reliability of a path is an important factor and must be calculated to go forth in the testing process. This paper is the extended work (Cuckoo Search in Test Case Generation and Conforming Optimality using Firefly Algorithm, 2015) [1], previously test cases are generated using cuckoo search. The reliability is calculated with the help of control flow graphs and mathematical calculations for all the paths specified in flow graph (Integrating Path Testing with Software Reliability Estimation Using Control Flow Graph, 2008) [2]. We consider various test cases that are traversing different paths and accordingly compute reliability of the paths.
