The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a swarm intelligence algorithm based on natural heuristics, which has gained considerable attention from researchers and engineers. However, WOA still has some limitations, including limited global search efficiency and a slow convergence rate. To address these issues, this paper presents an improved whale optimization algorithm with multiple strategies, called Dynamic Gain-Sharing Whale Optimization Algorithm (DGSWOA). Specifically, a Sine–Tent–Cosine map is first adopted to more effectively initialize the population, ensuring a more uniform distribution of individuals across the search space. Then, a gaining–sharing knowledge based algorithm is used to enhance global search capability and avoid falling into a local optimum. Finally, to increase the diversity of solutions, Dynamic Opposition-Based Learning is incorporated for population updating. The effectiveness of our approach is evaluated through comparative experiments on blackbox optimization benchmarking and two engineering application problems. The experimental results suggest that the proposed method is competitive in terms of solution quality and convergence speed in most cases.

Regression testing plays an indispensable role in software maintenance, which refers to retest the software following modifications to determine whether the changes have introduced new faults. However, regression testing requires massive amounts of effort to achieve a high fault detection rate. To address this issue, the test case prioritization technique is used to improve the fault detection rate by adjusting the execution order of test cases. For model-based regression test case prioritization, existing approaches have been developed using the single aspect of model-related information extracted from the previous executed test cases. In this paper, a novel learn-to-rank technique is proposed to prioritize test cases by combining the multidimensional features of Extended Finite State Machine (EFSM) under test to improve fault detection rate. Specifically, our method utilizes the random forest algorithm to combine multiple existing heuristic prioritization methods. Detailed experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed method's performance in terms of Average Percentage Fault Detected (APFD). The experimental results show that the mean APFD value of our method reaches 0.884 for five subject EFSMs, which is 33.9% higher than the compared methods.

Typhoons, a kind of devastating natural disaster, have caused incalculable damages worldwide. The meteorological radar image is essential for weather forecasting, especially typhoons. The weather nowcasting (future 0–6 h) can be implemented via extrapolating radar images without using the primary weather forecasting method—the numerical weather prediction model. However, the existing related techniques based on statistics or artificial intelligence were not efficient enough. In this article, a novel radar image extrapolation algorithm named dynamic multiscale fusion-generative adversarial network (DMSF-GAN) was proposed. DMSF-GAN captures the future radar image distribution based on current radar images through modifying the GAN. In the generative module of GAN, an auto-encoder consisting of dynamic inception-3-D and feature connection blocks extracts significant features from current radar images. The feasibility of the proposed model was verified on a real radar image dataset, and the experimental results proved that the proposed algorithm could effectively capture the location and pattern of the future radar echo, especially for typhoon weather systems. Compared with the mainstream methods of radar image extrapolation such as optical-flow and recurrent neural network (RNN)-based models, DMSF-GAN has a more superior and robust performance, which is also suitable for running on low-configuration machines.

Spectrum Based Fault Localization (SBFL) uses different metrics called risk evaluation formula to guide and pinpoint faults in debugging process. The accuracy of a specific SBFL method may be limited by the used formulae and program spectra. However, it has been demonstrated recently that Genetic Programming could be used to automatically design formulae directly from the program spectra. Therefore, this article presents Genetic Programming approach for proposing risk evaluation formula with the inclusion of radicals to evolve suspiciousness metric directly from the program spectra. 92 faults from Unix utilities of SIR repository and 357 real faults from Defect4J repository were used. The approach combines these data sets, used 25% of the total faults (113) to evolve the formulae and the remaining 75% (336) to validate the effectiveness of the metrics generated by our approach. The proposed approach then uses Genetic Programming to run 30 evolution to produce different 30 metrics. The GP-generated metrics consistently out-performed all the classic formulae in both single and multiple faults, especially OP2 on average of 2.25% in single faults and 3.42% in multiple faults. The experiment results conclude that the combination of Hybrid data set and radical is a good technique to evolve effective formulae for spectra-based fault localization.
