Abstract: Test data generation is a key for software testing. The program slicing technique is employed in software test data generation so that the efficiency of test data generation can thus be enhanced. In this paper, the basic concepts of program slicing techniques were introduced, and a dynamic program slice algorithm based on forward analysis was presented here,then its application to test data generation was discussed. The result show that the effciency of test data generation can thus be enhanced.

Key words: program slicing, test data generation, forward analysis, dynamic program slice algorithm
