A Review of the Applications of Heuristic Algorithms in Test Case Generation Problem

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art heuristic-based methods in test case generation, analyzing the technical characteristics of these technologies. By conducting a thorough analysis, the study categorizes these methods into distinct types based on their underlying principles. It explains the core concepts of each category, as well as its methods, and provides an overview of their main applications in test case generation. Additionally, the study also explores areas that have not been adequately researched in the current literature and offers prospects for future research directions. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of current research and to offer valuable insights and guidance for future research and best practices on heuristic-based method for test case generation.
