One of the inferences made is that Oracle can be made with this approach giving matching input-output pairs. But this method is used to reduce the number of test cases and Oracle should have as many number of test cases and its output to be effective? Is this not a contradiction.

Since the NN is trying to learn the original program, wouldn't the pruning just make test suites avoid testing certain parts of the program? How can one tell whether those parts would have a big impact on the quality of the program? What happens if the pruning process eliminates a critical part of the program that should be tested?

According to section 4.1, the NN was trained for 1500 epochs or until accuracy of 99-100%. Is it always possible to train the NN to have that level of accuracy? What will happen if we use a NN that has low accuracy for the next step?

As with any use of neural networks, this technique depends heavily on having a good training set of test cases. What are the characteristics of a test suite that would make it a good training set for this approach?

EBP is being used to learn the network. We know that EBP has some disadvantages - its slow and can get stuck in local minima. What would be the effect on the software testing?
