McCaffrey will present "Generation of Pairwise Test Sets Using a Genetic Algorithm."McCaffrey's talk presents the results of an experimental study of a new software testing technique using genetic algorithms (GAs), developed by Volt's advanced research division. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a class of computational procedures inspired by biological evolution. GAs are used in software testing to solve maximization and minimization problems that are combinatorially complex and which do not lend themselves to standard algorithmic techniques. COMPSAC is an academic conference attended by researchers from around the world. The conference allows those interested in computer software and applications to meet and discuss major advances and current and future trends in software technologies and practices. McCaffrey has more than 30 years of experience in research and software engineering expertise. He oversees technical training for software engineers working for Microsoft in Redmond, WA and is a Contributing Editor for Microsoft's MSDN Magazine.
