Recently, many automatic test generation techniques have been proposed, such as Randoop, Pex and jCUTE. However, usually coverage of these has around 50-60% only, due to several challenges, 1) the object mutation problem, where generators cannot create and/or modify inputs desired states; 2) constraint solving fail solve path conditions cover certain branches. By analyzing branches not covered by state-of-the-art techniques, we noticed that challenges might be so difficult for humans.
