SWE 608 Search-based Software Engineering-PhD program

Many activities in software engineering involve an element of search. Some examples include selection of requirements, localization and correction of defects, and the optimization of test coverage. The fast-growing field of Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) applies computing resources to these search problems to improve the efficiency and quality of software engineering processes. This course aims to introduce students to a wide range of SBSE terminology, techniques, and processes. The concepts taught in the lectures will be practiced and reinforced by participation in a project, and one seminar with a written essay on a recent SBSE-related conference article
