Software Testing is most labour intensive task and accounts for fifty percent of total cost of development. Toreduce high cost of manual testing researchers have tried to automate the software testing process. Test data generationfor a given program is the most important problem to be solved in the automated testing process. Many researchers areactively showing the interest in the field of automated test data generation. Many new advancements have been seen inthe field of test data generation over past few years. The focus of this paper is to elaborate and review the test datageneration techniques used for structural testing. Symbolic execution has received much attention for structural test datageneration. Though symbolic execution has many other applications our focus in this paper is to explore the use ofsymbolic execution in test data generation. Symbolic execution has some limitations when it comes to implement thetechniques for real world application like path explore, complex constrains. We discussed the availble solutions to thecommon problems with the symbolic execution.
