Some Seeds are Strong: Seeding Strategies for Search-based Test Case Selection

Appendix A- Boxplots of the results of the different seeding algorithms.

Boxplot and a line graphs are provided with the HV distribution , obtained HV median for the 50 algorithm runs at every 5000 generations of each algorithm and fitness function combination and the distribution of the obtained Convergence metrics grouped by Study Case:

• Black-box test case selection case studies:

  • ACEngine

  • CC

  • CW

  • EMB

  • Tiny

  • TwoTanks

• Continuous-Integration test case selection case studies

  • Google

  • IOF

Appendix B- Tables of the statistical tests.

Four different tables are provided with the statistical test results for the 50 algorithm runs at every 5000 generations of each algorithm and fitness function combination grouped by Study Case:

• Convergence

• Hypervolume

• Running time
