Test optimization for multi-value attribute system based on Ant Algorithm

摘要

Aiming at solving the problem of test sequencing optimization in fault diagnosis for multi-value attribute system，an improved Ant Algorithm is presented in this paper. The Ant Algorithm which has solved the problem for binary attribute system is expanded to multi-value attribute system. According to the feature of the multi-value attribute system, the transfer rule of the ant state and feedback of the pheromone is designed flexibly and the Ant Algorithm is combined with the GA. The algorithm presented in this paper provides a new way to solve the test sequencing optimization for multi-value attribute system.
