Abstract	We demonstrate how a static analysis feedback and unit test case generation framework, KUnit, built on the Bogor/Kiasan symbolic execution engine provides an effective unit test case generation for sequential heap-intensive Java programs (whose computation structures are incomplete - open systems). KUnit leverages method contract information to better deal with open object-oriented systems and to support automatic mock object creation. To facilitate application to realistic software, KUnit allows the scope/cost of the analysis and test case generation to be controlled via notions of heap configuration coverage. In a broad experimental study on 23 Java data structure modules, we show that it is able to: (a) achieve 100% feasible branch coverage on almost all methods by using only small heap configurations; (b) improve on competing tools for coverage achieved; size of test suites; and time to generate test suites.
