Abstract
We propose to use Search-Based Software Engineering to automatically evolve coverage criteria that are well correlated with fault revelation, through the use of existing fault databases. We explain how problems of bloat and overfitting can be ameliorated in our approach, and show how this new method will yield insight into faults — as well as better guidance for Search-Based Software Testing.Details
