SBSTFrame

There are a large variety of tools for application of many techniques of software testing. Likewise, there are a variety of frameworks that facilitate developing search techniques (e.g. Metaheuristics ). However, there are few tools available to the integration of these tools, which would be suitable for the application of SBST (Search Based Software Testing). Furthermore, such tools require an advanced knowledge of software testing techniques and optimization techniques.

Thinking about it, the SBST Group from Informatics Institute at Universidade Federal de Goiás, are developing the SBSTFrame focuses in the integration of these two types of tools to facilitate the application of search techniques in problems of Software Testing area. The SBSTFrame plays the role of a top layer compared with software testing tools and frameworks of search techniques layer, to the communication between them could be done transparently to the user.
