Q. Where we can use Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms? A. Metaheuristic Algorithms are used in different fields to solve optimization problems in different fields either for minimization of for maximization. Metaheuristic Algorithms Categories. 1. Single Based Metaheuristic Algorithms: Single Solution is generated at each iteration/generation. Single Based Metaheuristic Algorithms Examples. Tabu Search Guided Local Search Iterated Local Search Variable Neighborhood Search Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search 2. Population-Based Metaheuristic Algorithms: Multiple Solutions are generated at each iteration/generation. Examples: Nature-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithm Evolutionary Algorithms Swarm Based Algorithm Human-Based Algorithm Physics-Based Algorithm Bio-Inspired Algorithm Art-Inspired Algorithm Plant-Based Algorithm Q. How we can use Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms in Software Testing? Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm in Software Testing: T = {T(1), T(2),..., T
