"On the Usefulness of Crossover in Search-Based Test Case Generation: A" by Changze Huang, Hailian Zhou et al.
The crossover operation is an important component of genetic algorithms for test case generation. The usefulness of crossover, however, is not really clear, especially for industrial settings. This research applies EvoSuite, a well-known searchbased test case generator, to both open-source and industrial Java programs, and investigates the impact of the use of crossover on the code coverage achieved by the generated test cases. Our empirical study shows that the usefulness of the crossover opera...
