Abstract:

Doctor of Philosophy<br>Department of Computing and Information Sciences<br>David A. Gustafson<br>Software testing is an essential component of software development life cycle, and certain software testing methodologies require enormous amounts of time and expense in order to detect and correct errors in a software system. The two primary goals of any testing methodology are error detection and increased reliability. Each methodology utilizes a unique technique to achieve these goals and detect faults in the software. In this paper, an evaluation approach is presented that can enhance evaluati

Abstract:

A genetic algorithm using conventional heuristics as operators is considered in this study for the traveling salesman problem with backhauls (TSPB). Properties of a crossover operator (Nearest Neighbor Crossover, NNX) based on the nearest neighbor heuristic and the idea of using more than two parents are investigated in a series of experiments. Different parent selection and replacement strategies and generation of multiple children are tried as well. Conventional improvement heuristics are also used as mutation operators. It has been observed that 2-edge exchange and node insertion heuristics

Abstract:

Mutation testing is a powerful, but resource intense technique for asserting software quality. This report investigates two claims about one of the mutation operators on procedural logic, the relation operator replacement (ROR). The constrained ROR mutant operator is a type of constrained mutation, which targets to lower the number of mutants as a “do smarter” approach, making mutation testing more suitable for industrial use. The findings in the report shows that the hypothesis on subsumption is rejected if mutants are to be detected on function return values. The second hypothesis stating th

Abstract:

This thesis deals with analysis of genetic algorithms. It is focused on various approaches to creation of new populations. A comparison between basic principles of operation of genetic algorithms and processes occurring in living organisms is drawn here. Some methods of application of particular steps of genetic algorithms are introduced and a suitability of the methods to certain types of problems is considered. The main goal in the thesis is to apply genetic algorithms in solving three types of optimization problems, namely the solution of functions with a single major extreme, functions wit

Abstract:

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are a class of stochastic search and optimization algorithms that are inspired by principles of natural and biological evolution. Although EAs have been found to be extremely useful in finding solutions to practically intractable problems, they suffer from issues like premature convergence, getting stuck to local optima, and poor stability. Recently, researchers have been considering adaptive EAs to address the aforementioned problems. The core of adaptive EAs is to automatically adjust genetic operators and relevant parameters in order to speed up the convergence

Abstract:

Mutation testing is a fault-finding software testing technique that creates mutants by injecting a syntactic change into the source code. This technique operates by evaluating the ability of a testsuite to detect mutants, which is used to asses the quality of a test suite. The information from mutation testing can be used to improve the quality of a test suite by developing additional test cases. It is a promising technique, but the expensive nature of mutation testing has prevented its wide spread, practical use. One approach to make mutation testing more efficient is selective mutation testi

Abstract:

Test suites for database applications depend on adequate test data and real-world test faults for success. An automated tool is available that quantifies test data coverage for database queries written in SQL. An automated tool is also available that mimics real-world faults by mutating SQL, however tests have revealed that these simulated faults do not completely represent real-world faults. This paper demonstrates how half of the mutation operators used by the SQL mutation tool in real-world test suites generated significantly lower detection scores than those from research test suites.

Abstract:

Genetic algorithms are an evolutionary technique that use crossover and mutation operators to solve optimization problems using a survival of the fittest idea. They have been used successfully in a variety of different problems, including the traveling salesman problem. In the traveling salesman problem we wish to find a tour of all nodes in a weighted graph so that the total weight is minimized. The traveling salesman problem is NP-hard but has many real world applications so a good solution would be useful. Many different crossover and mutation operators have been devised for the traveling s

Abstract:

In this work, the iterated tabu search (ITS) algorithm for the traveling salesman problem (TSP) is discussed. The TSP is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem. Thus, solving the TSP means searching for the shortest closed tour in which every city is visited exactly once. Various heuristic algorithms can be used for solving the TSP, among them, tour construction heuristics, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, etc. One of the promising heuristic techniques is the iterated tabu search approach. ITS consists of two main parts: standard tabu search (TS) and mutation of solutions. The

Abstract:

A hyper-heuristic is a search method or learning mechanism for selecting or generating heuristics to solve computational search problems. Researchers classify hyper-heuristics according to the source of feedback during learning: Online learning hyper-heuristics learn while solving a given instance of a problem; Offline learning hyper-heuristics learn from a set of training instances, a method that can generalise to unseen instances. Genetic programming (GP) can be considered a specialization of the more widely known genetic algorithms (GAs) where each individual is a computer program. GP autom

We propose an approach to predict protein side-chain conformation, by applying the Family Competition Evolutionary Approach developed by Dr. J. M. Yang.
