How should I Test a Genetic Algorithm

Question

I have made a quite few genetic algorithms; they work (they find a reasonable solution quickly). But I have now discovered TDD. Is there a way to write a genetic algorithm (whic

Answer 1

You could write a redundant neural network to analyze the results from your algorithm and have the output ranked based on expected outcomes. :)

Break your method down as much as your can. Then you can also have a unit test around just the random part to check the range of values. Even have the test run it a few times to see if the result changes.
