Green-JEXJ: A New Tool to Measure Energy Consumption of Improved Concolic Testing

Abstract

Green Computing is a solution for environment sustainability, where any part of computer does not pollute the environment system. The main focus of Green Computing is to reduce harmful material used in computers, boost the energy efficiency and create recyclability of waste. Now a days energy consumption of software is very interesting research area. Green Software Testing deals with applying Green Computing technique on software testing. In this paper, we developed a tool to measure energy consumption of improved concolic testing.We have named our tool as Green-JEXJ (Green JEXNCT JCUTE). We have developed Green-JEXJ in Java language with a nice Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI provides 100% augmented testing technique on Green-JEXJ. Our proposed method achieves 7.45% of average increase in branch coverage for some sample programs. The average difference of energy consumption of the sample programs is -75945.1008 Joules (‘-ve’ shows that our transformation approach is energy efficient).
