Evolutionary testing in the presence of loop-assigned flags: a testability transformation approach
Evolutionary testing is an effective technique for automatically generating good quality test data. However, for structural testing, the technique degenerates to random testing i...

Finding Effective Software Metrics to Classify Maintainability Using a Parallel Genetic Algorithm
The ability to predict the quality of a software object can be viewed as a classification problem, where software metrics are the features and expert quality rankings the class lab...

Automated Vulnerability Analysis: Leveraging Control Flow for Evolutionary Input Crafting
We present an extension of traditional "black box" fuzz testing using a genetic algorithm based upon a Dynamic Markov Model fitness heuristic. This heuristic allows us t...

Comparative analysis of genetic algorithm implementations
Genetic Algorithms provide computational procedures that are modeled on natural genetic system mechanics, whereby a coded solution is “evolved” from a set of potential solutio...
