Generating Prioritized Test Sequences Using Firefly Optimization Technique

The aim of this study is to propose an algorithm for generating minimal test sequences by applying Firefly optimization technique. In this study, we use state machine diagram for the behavioral specification of software. This paper generates the important test sequences for composite states in the state machine diagram under consideration. The generated test sequences are then prioritized based on a software coverage criterion. The use of firefly technique results in efficient prioritization of the generated test sequences.
