A Review on Search Based Software Engineering

The plan of Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE) research is to shift software engineering problems from human-based search to machine-based search, by means of the of the techniques from the metaheuristic search and evolutionary computation paradigms. The design is to utilize humans' ingenuity and machines' tenacity and reliability, rather than requiring humans to perform the more monotonous, error prone aspects of the engineering process. SBSE has been applied to problems all over the Software Engineering lifecycle, from requirements and project planning to maintenance and re-engineering. This paper provides a review on SBSE in Software development life cycle (SDLC) and various algorithms used in SBSE.
