Abstract
A test program for a data processing apparatus is produced using a genetic algorithm which mutates instances being ordered lists of program instructions within a population forming the test program. The populations are evaluated using a metric by which the population as a whole is scored for its stimulation of predetermined functional points within the data processing apparatus when a determination is being made as to whether or not a particular instance should be swapped in or out of the population.
