Additional information
<09> A plethora of search techniques have been proposed for Search-Based Testing, with little or no theoretical or empirical justification for their effectiveness. This paper is the first to provide such an underpinning, showing when relatively complex global searches will outperform simple local search and vice versa for a given program. The theory is empirically validated with statistically significant results on a series of programs drawn from the automotive industry and open source. The paper has 96 GoogleScholar citations, and was published in IEEE TSE (IF 2.59).
