Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the practical aspects of using EAs. Working with EAs often means comparing different versions experimentally, and we provide guidelines for doing this, including the issues of algorithm performance measures, statistics, and benchmark test suites. The example application (Sect. 9.4) is also adjusted to the special topics here; it illustrates the application of different experimental practices, rather than EA design.
