Software testing is an important stage in the software development process, which is the key to ensure software quality and improve software reliability. Software fault localization is the most important part of software testing. In this paper, the fault localization problem is modeled as a combinatorial optimization problem, using the function call path as a starting point. A heuristic search algorithm based on hybrid genetic simulated annealing algorithm is used to locate software defects. Experimental results show that the fault localization method, which combines genetic algorithm, simulated annealing algorithm and function correlation analysis method, has a good effect on single fault localization and multi-fault localization. It greatly reduces the requirement of test case coverage and the burden of the testers, and improves the effect of fault localization.

Logistics distribution involves preparing goods in the distribution center or logistics node for most reasonable delivery according to the requirements of customers. Genetic algorithm is a random global search algorithm based on the principle of natural evolution. It can be a good solution to optimize the distribution routes. This paper combines genetic algorithm and the simulated annealing algorithm, to which memory device is added, in order to avoid best result losing in the crossover operator of the genetic algorithm. The experimental results show that a memory function with this genetic simulated annealing algorithm in solving the logistics distribution routing problem, can not only get a higher qualified solution, but can also significantly reduce the evolutionary generation that algorithm requires, and obtain solution to the problem in less time.

Scheduling is one of the important part in production planning process. One of the factor that influence the smooth production process is raw material supply. Sugarcane supply as the main raw material in the making of sugar is the most important componen. The algorithm that used in this study was Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. SA apability to accept the bad or no better solution within certain time distinguist it from another local search algorithm. Aim of this study was to implement the SA algorithm in scheduling the sugarcane harvest process so that the amount of sugarcane harvest not so differ from mill capacity of the factory. Data used in this study were 60 data from sugarcane farms that ready to cut and mill capacity 1660 tons. Sugarcane harvest process in 19 days producing 33043,76 tons used SA algorithm and 27089,47 tons from factory actual result. Based on few experiments, obtained sugarcane harvest average by SA algorithm was 1651,63 tons per day and factory actual result was 1354,47 tons. Result of harvest scheduling used SA algorithm showed not so differ average from mill capacity of factory. Truck uses scheduling by SA algorithm showed average 119 trucks per day while from factory actual result was 156 trucks. With the same harvest time, SA algorithm result was greater  and the amount of used truck less than actual result of factory. Thus, can be concluded SA algorithm can make the scheduling of sugarcane harvest become more optimall compared to other methods applied by the factory nowdays.
