Hello!
Based on couple of existing genetic algorithms library available on the net, my team and I have come up with a design for the library. But we are not able to understand how to validate the library - Are there any test designs followed to test if a library is working correctly? I would like to again mention that we are graduate students and have just started working on Hadoop.
