The use of metaheuristic search techniques for the automatic generation of test data has
been a burgeoning interest for many researchers in recent years. Previous attempts to …

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 …

A system built in terms of autonomous software agents may require even greater correctness
assurance than one that is merely reacting to the immediate control of its users. Agents …

Fault-based testing is often advocated to overcome limitations ofother testing approaches;
however it is also recognized as beingexpensive. On the other hand, evolutionary …

For quality-assured information engineering software assessment has become critical.
Software quality is defined as all the features and proprieties of a software system that can …

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 …

Software test suite optimisation is one of the most important problems in software
engineering research. To achieve this optimisation, a novel approach based on artificial bee …

State-based testing is frequently used in software testing. Test data generation is one of the
key issues in software testing. A properly generated test suite may not only locate the errors …

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