EvoTest – Evolutionary Testing for Complex Systems

EvoTest is a multidisciplinary European funded (IST-33472) project that combines the power of evolutionary adaptive techniques, inspired by biological evolution, with software engineering techniques in order to find solutions to the problems of testing software systems and deal with its complexity.

EvoTest’s results will be evaluated using real case studies from the automotive, telecommunications and communication industries. This is highly significant since the next generation of automotive and telecommunications systems will support communication and negotiation between vehicles and communications devices. This will lead to complex emergent behaviour.

EvoTest is therefore highly timely in seeking to build upon the lead European science and technology in evolutionary testing and in applying this to the problems of testing complex software systems.
