Fuzzy Adaptive Teaching Learning-based Optimization Strategy for the Problem of Generating Mixed Strength T-Way Test Suites

The teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm has shown competitive performance in solving numerous real-world optimization problems. Nevertheless, this algorithm requires better control for exploitation and exploration to prevent premature convergence (i.e., trapped in local optima), as...

In order to assess its performances, we adopt ATLBO for the mixed strength t-way test generation problem.
