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 …

Real-world optimisation problems are often very complex. Metaheuristics have been
successful in solving many of these problems, but the difficulty in choosing the best …

Test suite augmentation techniques are used in regression testing to identify code elements
affected by changes and to generate test cases to cover those elements. Our preliminary …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Model-based testing, structural testing, temporal testing, mutation testing,
regression testing, exception testing, integration testing, interaction testing, and …

Test suite augmentation techniques are used in regression testing to identify code elements
affected by changes and to generate test cases to cover those elements. Whereas methods …

The techniques for the automatic generation of test cases try to efficiently find a small set of
cases that allow a given adequacy criterion to be fulfilled, thus contributing to a reduction in …

In this paper we present a new, non-pheromone-based test suite optimization approach
inspired by the behavior of biological bees. Our proposed approach is based on ABC …
