Combinatorial Testing (CT) can detect failures triggered by interactions of parameters in the
Software Under Test (SUT) with a covering array test suite generated by some sampling …

In the past five years there has been a dramatic increase in work on Search-Based Software
Engineering (SBSE), an approach to Software Engineering (SE) in which Search-Based …

Test case generation is among the most labour-intensive tasks in software testing. It also has
a strong impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of software testing. For these reasons, it …

This extensively classroom-tested text takes an innovative approach to explaining software
testing that defines it as the process of applying a few precise, general-purpose criteria to a …

Exhaustive testing of computer software is intractable, but empirical studies of software
failures suggest that testing can in some cases be effectively exhaustive. We show that …

Search-Based Software Testing is the use of a meta-heuristic optimizing search technique,
such as a Genetic Algorithm, to automate or partially automate a testing task, for example the …

Despite decades of work by researchers and practitioners on numerous software quality
assurance techniques, testing remains one of the most widely practiced and studied …

Combinatorial testing of software analyzes interactions among variables using a very small
number of tests. This advanced approach has demonstrated success in providing strong …

Search-based software testing is the application of metaheuristic search techniques to
generate software tests. The test adequacy criterion is transformed into a fitness function and …

Almost every software system provides configuration options to tailor the system to the target
platform and application scenario. Often, this configurability renders the analysis of every …
