==Brief history==
One of the earliest attempts in applying [[Optimization (mathematics)|optimization]] to a [[software engineering]] problem was reported by [[Webb_Miller|Webb Miller]] and David Spooner in 1976 in the area of software testing.<ref>W. Miller and D. L. Spooner, Automatic Generation of Floating-Point Test Data, ''IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering'', Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 223-226 (1976)</ref> Xanthakis et al. <ref>S. Xanthakis, C. Ellis, C. Skourlas, A. Le Gall, S. Katsikas and K. Karapoulios, Application of genetic algorithms to software testing, In ''Proceedings of the 5<sup>th</sup> International Conference on Software Engineering and its Applications'', pp. 625-636 (1992)</ref> apply for the first time a search technique to a [[software engineering]] problem in 1992. The term SBSE was first used in 2001 by Harman and Jones.<ref>M. Harman and B. F.
