Many-objective Search-based Selection of Software Product Line Test Products with Nautilus
Thiago Nascimento Ferreira, Sílvia Regina Vergílio, Mauroane Kessentini · 2020
The Variability Testing of Software Product Lines (VTSPL) concerns the selection of the most representative products to be tested according to specific goals. Works in the literature use a great variety of objectives and distinct algorithms. However, they neither address all the objectives at the same time nor offer an automatic tool to support this task. To this end, this work introduces Nautilus/VTSPL, a tool to address the VTSPL problem, created by instantiating Nautilus Framework. Nautilus/VTSPL allows the tester to experiment and configure different objectives and categories of many-objective algorithms. The tool also offers support to visualization of the generated solutions, easing the decision-making process.
