Metaheuristic search techniques have been extensively used to automate the process of
generating test cases, and thus providing solutions for a more cost-effective testing process …

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

Search-based optimization techniques have been applied to structural software test data
generation since 1992, with a recent upsurge in interest and activity within this area …

The increase in size and complexity of modern software systems requires scalable,
systematic, and automated testing approaches. Model-based testing (MBT), as a systematic …

There has been a considerable body of work on search-based test data generation for
branch coverage. However, hitherto, there has been no work on multi-objective branch …

Evolutionary testing has been widely studied as a technique for automating the process of
test case generation. However, to date, there has been no theoretical examination of when …

The use of search algorithms for test data generation has seen many successful results. For
structural criteria like branch coverage, heuristics have been designed to help the search …

Automatic software testing tools are still far from ideal for real world object-oriented (OO)
software. The use of nature inspired search algorithms for this problem has been …

Automatic test data generation is a very popular domain in the field of search‐based
software engineering. Traditionally, the main goal has been to maximize coverage …
