Implementation Paper on Designing Efficient Test Suite Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

For every quality software product it is important that its quality be improved and maintenance time be reduced as the product ages. The product should be reliable and should meet the standards as well. To do so proper testing strategies must be in place and they should be executed religiously. Here we recommend a algorithm on the principles of Artificial Bee Colony. Here the Bee is supposed to do the testing and tracking activity, which helps in saving time to find out optimal coverage test paths. This increases the confidence on product. Natural Bee hives have mainly three types of bees, namely scout bees, which perform undirected search of nectar. Onlookers’ bees determine which food source to explore next from the list given by scouts. Employed Bee finds new food source in the vicinity of depleted sources.
