Application Areas
Software testing has been one of the major applications of search techniques in software engineering. However, search techniques have been applied to other software engineering activities, for instance:requirements analysis, software design, software development, and software maintenance. In his FoSE paper, Harman identifies the current state of SBSE and highlights future trends in this approach to software engineering.
The term Search-based application, in contrast, refers to using search engine technology, rather than search techniques, in another industrial application.
