Search-based Software Testing (SBST) can automatically generate test cases to search for requirements violations. Unlike manual test case development, it can generate a significant number of test cases in a limited time. However, SBST does not possess the domain knowledge of engineers. This research proposal advocates the integration of engineers’ domain knowledge within existing SBST frameworks. It presents four different approaches that address this need. The experimental results confirm the benefits of incorporating domain knowledge within the search process.
