A new software testing strategy is outlined. The strategy is "adaptive" in that previous test paths are employed as a guide in the selection of subsequent paths. Preliminary implementations have used the method's inherent user-interactive capability successfully. The method ensures branch coverage and necessitates only "order n" tests, in which "n" is the number of decision nodes in the programflowgraph. The method offers many advantages over existing strategies in its computational requirements. This method, called the path-prefix strategy, has few computational requirements because there are fewer decision nodes to consider in the interpretation of the path constraints on the input than would be the case with complete paths in traditional methods.
