Abstract

Given a finite state machine denoting the specification of a system, finding some short interaction sequences capable to reach some/all states or transitions of this machine is a typical goal in testing methods. We study the problem of finding such sequences in the case where configurations previously traversed can be saved and restored (at some cost). Finding optimal sequences for this case is an NP-hard problem. We propose an heuristic method to approximately solve this problem based on an evolutionary computation approach, in particular River Formation Dynamics . Some experimental results are reported.
