Testing and Implementation Process in Automation of a University

Automation represents one of the major trends of the twentieth century. In many cases, automation has provided the desire benefits and has extended functionality well beyond existing human capabilities. In this era of modern education, automation of higher education institutes is required for the quality education and for the fast administrative work at the institution. Here, we mainly focus on the university. During installation of automation software for any particular department of the university, we have to test it before and during the implementation process. Testing verifies the errors and bugs of the software. Testing effectiveness can be achieved by the use of different testing methods and strategies. Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been successfully applied in the area of software testing. Aim of this paper is to propose GA-based technique to test the software product for the automation of a university.
