Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`List<int[]>`	`generateAdditionalTestInputsWithResult(int[] testInput, TestResult testResult)`	Generates additional test inputs based on results of previous test inputs normally generated by either `generateInitialTests()` or this method in a previous iteration.
`List<int[]>`	`generateInitialTests()`	Generates all initial test inputs for execution.

- Method Detail
  - generateInitialTests
```
List<int[]> generateInitialTests()
```
    Generates all initial test inputs for execution. This should generate at least one test input if dynamic generation via generateAdditionalTestInputsWithResult(int[], TestResult) should be used, as most front-ends won't call generateAdditionalTestInputsWithResult(int[], TestResult) if this returned no test input.
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of all initial test inputs. It is not guaranteed that these test inputs don't contain duplicates
  - generateAdditionalTestInputsWithResult
```
List<int[]> generateAdditionalTestInputsWithResult(int[] testInput,
                                                   TestResult testResult)
```
    Generates additional test inputs based on results of previous test inputs normally generated by either generateInitialTests() or this method in a previous iteration. For example, this functionality can be used to implement dynamic test input generation or fault characterization (or a combination of both).
    
    Parameters:
    
    testInput - the test input for which's result further test inputs should be generated
    
    testResult - the result of the test input
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of additional test inputs generated based on the result of the given test inputs. This does not necessarily have to return any test inputs for each call
