Applying Computational Intelligence in Software Testing

Saumya Dixit, Pradeep Tomar

Abstract


This paper describes two computational techniques that can be used to automate generation of test cases. These techniques are Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Both the algorithms are evaluated by varying parameters and recording the change in the results. A comparative study based on the results of these algorithms is also done.
