Investigate the use of search-based techniques to improve the functional and non-functional aspects of software. Search-based techniques are optimisation techniques guided by a fitness function, for example genetic algorithms, and stochastic hill climbing. "Functional aspects" meant the correct functioning of software, according to a test suite or a specification. The techniques researched would attempt to automatically fix bugs, using the test suite or a specification as a guide. Non-functional aspects include power consumption, execution time, memory use etc. The search-based techniques would act on the source code of the software system, aiming to make changes to improve it in the light of its functional/non-functional behaviour.

研究使用基于搜索的技术来改进软件的功能和非功能方面。基于搜索的技术是由适应度函数引导的优化技术，例如遗传算法和随机爬山。“功能方面”是指根据测试套件或规范，软件的正确功能。所研究的技术将尝试自动修复错误，使用测试套件或规范作为指导。非功能方面包括功耗、执行时间、内存使用等。基于搜索的技术将作用于软件系统的源代码，旨在根据其功能/非功能行为进行更改以改进其。
