A Survey on the Use of Computational Intelligence Techniques in Software Engineering

The growing need for complex applications in diversified fields imposes a significant challenge on the development of software systems. There has been a recent increase in interest in the applications of computational intelligence for software engineering problems. To manage uncertain and imperfect information, recent developments focus on the use of computational intelligence techniques in software engineering. This paper aims to determine the Computational Intelligence techniques that have been commonly used in the software development life cycle (SDLC). The focus of this work is on the practices used during the past decade. The results show that nature-inspired algorithms are commonly practiced by researchers and practitioners in almost every phase of SDLC.
