Simulating natural selection to solve computer science problems!
While researching some of the newer developments in computer science, I explored using a Genetic Algorithm to automatically "evolve" a high quality test suite for a tricky e-commerce pricing function. The algorithm learns the validation rules and generates a concise set of intelligent tests on its own.

I've written a full, step-by-step guide explaining how the Python code works from the fitness function to crossover and mutation. You can also checkout a written paper explaining the motivation and logic behind the exploration.

Check out the paper here:

Check out the developer's guide here on dev.to:
