Industrial Scaled Automated Structural Testing with the Evolutionary Testing Tool

Evolutionary testing has been researched and promising results have been presented. However, evolutionary testing has remained predominately a research-based activity not practiced within industry. Although attempts have been made, such as Daimler's Evolutionary Structural Test (EST) prototype, until now, no such tool has been suitable for industrial adoption. The European project EvoTest (IST-33472) team has been working from 2006 till2009 to improve this situation.
