The Maturation of Search-Based Software Testing: Successes and Challenges
Myra B. Cohen · 2019
In this paper we revisit the field of search-based software testing (SBST) in the context of its technological maturity. We highlight some successes with respect to tools, hybrid approaches, extensions and industry adoption. We then discuss some open challenges that remain for SBST including the need for new approaches to system testing, automated oracle generation, incorporating humans into the search process, and leveraging learning through hyper-heuristic search.
