A Survey on Software Testing Techniques using Genetic Algorithm

The overall aim of the software industry is to ensure delivery of high quality software to the end user. To ensure high quality software, it is required to test software. Testing ensures that software meets user specifications and requirements. However, the field of software testing has a number of underlying issues like effective generation of test cases, prioritisation of test cases etc which need to be tackled. These issues demand on effort, time and cost of the testing. Different techniques and methodologies have been proposed for taking care of these issues. Use of evolutionary algorithms for automatic test generation has been an area of interest for many researchers. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is one such form of evolutionary algorithms. In this research paper, we present a survey of GA approach for addressing the various issues encountered during software testing.Comment: 13 Page

Acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia presenting with cutaneous involvement in a child: a rare case report

Primary cutaneous involvement in T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia is rare in childhood. We present a case of 6-year-old girl admitted to our hospital because of multiple skin lesions. She was looked pale and weak. Generalized lymphadenopathy was present. Complete blood count revealed 216,000/mm3 white blood cell count. Peripheral blood smear showed 80% lymphoblasts. Bone marrow aspiration revealed 96% blastic cells with immunophenotype and morphological characteristics of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) which was confirmed by flowcytometry.   ALL BFM -95 remission induction treatment protocol was started. Skin lesion remained same after two month of the cytotoxic therapy. The symptoms became more aggressive and she died after 4 months of treatment

AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUTRITIONAL STATUS, SERUM IL-6, AND CRP LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND DISEASE SEVERITY.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory disease that affects the entire body. We examined whether serum inflammatory markers, C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin, and nutritional status (as measured by serum levels of prealbumin and anthropometry) were associated with COPD severity. Methods: This hospital-based observational study was conducted on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from Barpeta and the adjacent areas who were attending the Medicine Department of Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College and Hospital. From September 1, 2020, to August 31, 2021, a total of 60 cases were examined. Results: The majority of the cases were between the ages of 51 and 70. The preponderance of the 60 cases in the study, or 71.67 percent, were male. In the age range of 61 to 70, the prevalence of exertional dyspnea and the severity of COPD were the highest. Conclusion: As the severity of COPD increased, so did the concentration of inflammatory markers in the serum and the nutritional status of the patients
