Harmony search algorithm is the recently developed metaheuristic in the last decade. It
mimics the behavior of a musician producing a perfect harmony. It has been used to solve …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the development of the harmony search
(HS) algorithm and its applications. HS is a well-known human-based meta-heuristic …

Test data generation is one of the key activities that has a significant impact on the efficiency
and effectiveness of software testing. Since manual test data generation is quite inefficient …

Test data generation has a notable impact on the performance of software testing. A well-
known approach to automate this activity is search-based test data generation. Most studies …

Software is playing the most important role in recent vehicle innovations, and consequently
the amount of software has rapidly grown in recent decades. The safety-critical nature of …

Abstract Artificial Neural Networks have been applied as a useful technique for
classification. Based on the above, we propose a method called Velocity-Enhanced Whale …

Many search-based algorithms have been successfully applied in several software
engineering activities. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are the most used in the scientific domains …

Context Effective software testing requires test adequacy criteria. MC/DC, a widely used
logic-based testing criterion, struggles to detect domain errors caused by incorrect arithmetic …

In the present study, with a view to speculate the water flow of two rivers in eastern India
namely river Daya and river Bhargavi, the focus was on developing Cascaded Functional …

Context: Typically, search-based test data generation methods search on a population of
program input values. Program input values can be regarded as solutions to underlying path …
