This paper presents some ideas about an approach which aims at extending existing methodologies for functional testing. Experience in automotive applications has shown that when selecting parameters for functional testing, many times a tester has equivalence classes in mind. Instead of losing valuable information in the process, support should be given to make them manageable. The proposed approach suggests evolutionary testing strategies to search for critical representatives within equivalence classes.
