igational path, e.g., constraints on the length <strong>of</strong> the deepest paths (Benedikt<br />
et al., 2002), or number <strong>of</strong> clicks to a certain state. Whenever a fault is detected,<br />
the error report along the causing execution path is saved in the database so<br />
that it can be reproduced later easily.<br />
Implementation. Atusa is implemented in Java 1.6. The state-flow graph is<br />
<strong>based</strong> on the JGrapht library. The implementation details <strong>of</strong> the crawler can<br />
be found in Chapter 5. The plugin architecture is implemented through the<br />
Java Plugin Framework (JPF) 7 <strong>and</strong> we use Hibernate, a persistence <strong>and</strong> query<br />
service, to store the data in the database. Apache Velocity 8 templates assist us<br />
in the code generation process <strong>of</strong> JUnit test cases.<br />
