Search Based Software Testing (SBST) formulates testing as an optimisation problem, which
can be attacked using computational search techniques from the field of Search Based …

We introduce a bi-objective effort estimation algorithm that combines Confidence Interval
Analysis and assessment of Mean Absolute Error. We evaluate our proposed algorithm on …

This work provides a systematic literature review of the software project scheduling problem,
in the context of search-based software engineering, and summarizes the main models …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) and search-based software engineering (SBSE)
are both relevant approaches to software engineering. MDE aims to raise the level of …

Many recent studies have shown that various multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have
been widely applied in the field of search-based software engineering (SBSE) for optimal …

A common problem found during the integration testing is to determine an order to integrate
and test the units. Important factors related to stubbing costs and constraints regarding to the …

Genetic improvement uses automated search to find improved versions of existing software.
Genetic improvement has previously been concerned with improving a system with respect …

Software refactoring has been recognized as a valuable process during software
development and is often aimed at repaying technical debt. Technical debt arises when a …

Abstract Models are the key tools humans use to manage complexity in description,
development, and analysis. This applies to all scientific and engineering disciplines and in …

This paper presents a brief outline of an approach to online genetic improvement. We argue
that existing progress in genetic improvement can be exploited to support adaptivity. We …
