Abstract
Improving test cases automatically is a nonlinear optimization problem. To solve this problem, we´ve developed a bacteriologic algorithm, adapted from genetic algorithms that can generate and optimize a set of test cases. A .NET component that parses C# source files illustrates our algorithm.
