....could be easily tuned. Then it would be possible to evaluate merits and drawbacks of the available methods as well as test new methods efficiently. Section 2 discusses further the need for a such scalable test suite, whereas section 3 presents a particular test case generator proposed recently [3]. Section 4 provides an example of the use of this test case generator for evaluation of a particular constraint handling method. Section 5 concludes the paper. 2 A need for a test case generator It is not clear what characteristics of a constrained problem make it difficult for an evolutionary ....
....search space changes as a function of the ratio between the sizes of the feasible part and the whole search space what is the relationship between the number of constraints (or the number of dimensions, for example) of a problem and the computational effort of a method and many others. In [3] a parameterized test case generator T CG was proposed: T CG(n; w; which control: n the number of variables of the problem w the number of optima in the search space the number of constraints (inequalities) the connectedness of the feasible search regions ....
