Since the cost of software testing has continuously accounted for large proportion of the software development total cost, automatic test data generation becomes a hot topic in recent software testing research. These researches attempt to reduce the cost of software testing by generating test data automatically, but they are discussed only for the single version programs not for the programs which are needed re-testing after changing. On the other hand, the regression testing researches discuss about how to re-test programs after changing, but they don¡¦t talk about how to generate test data automatically. Therefore, we propose an automatic test data evolution strategy in this paper. We use the method of regression testing to find out the part of programs which need re-testing, then automatic evolutes the test data by hybrid genetic algorithm. According to the experiment result, our strategy has the same or better testing ability but needs less cost than the other strategies.
