Abstract

This paper presents a Class-Based Elitist Genetic Algorithm (CBEGA) to generate a suite of tests for testing the object-oriented programs using evolutionary multi-objective optimization techniques. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are inspired by mechanisms in biological evolution like reproduction, mutation, recombination, and selection. EA applies these mechanisms repeatedly to a set of individuals called population to obtain solution. Multi-objective optimization involves optimizing a number of objectives simultaneously. The objectives considered in this paper for optimization are maximum coverage, minimum execution time and test-suite minimization. The experiment shows that CBEGA gives 92% path coverage and simple GA gives 88% path coverage for a set of java classes.
