abstract = "Hyper-heuristics have been identified as optimisation algorithms
that would have better generalisation capabilities than
metaheuristics. In this article, we present a controlled
experiment that evaluates four metaheuristics (evolutionary
algorithms), two multi-objective (SPEA2, IBEA) and two
many-objective (NSGA-III, MOMBI-II), and three selection
hyper-heuristics (HRISE_R, HRISE_M, Choice Function) for the
software integration testing problem. We relied on and improved
our previous method which aims at generating integration test
cases based on C++ source code and optimisation algorithms.
Considering three different quality indicators and two types of
evaluations (cross-domain and statistical analyses), results
demonstrate that, for the algorithms and case studies considered
in this research, classical metaheuristics, such as SPEA2 and
IBEA, performed better compared to not only the most recent
many-objective algorithms but also to the hyper-heuristics. This
conclusion, based on empirical evidences, seems to be related to
the well-known no free lunch theorems which assert that any two
algorithms are equivalent when their performances are averaged
across all possible problems. Hence, we claim that it is needed to
carry out more rigorous experiments, in the context of
optimisation, to better answer the question of generalisation in
practical terms.",
