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.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or areas:
“It would be disingenuous, however, not to point out that some things are considered as morally certain, that is, as having sufficient certainty for application to ordinary life, even though they may be uncertain in relation to the absolute power of God.”
—René Descartes (1596–1650)
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
