Differential Evolution Based on Self-Adaptive Fitness Function for Automated Test Case Generation

Abstract

Testing is one of the most important parts of the software process, which aims at detecting software faults/bugs and thus guarantees the quality of the final product. Its expense is nearly half of the total cost of software development [7], [9]. Most of the current approaches to software testing are manual, but it has been recently suggested [1] that automated testing should be done to save human resources and budget, as well as to produce high-quality software.
