EN Synthesizing a program with the desired input-output behavior by means of genetic programming is an iterative process that needs appropriate guidance. That guidance is conventionally provided by a fitness function that measures the conformance of program output with the desired output. Contrary to widely adopted stance, there is no evidence that this quality measure is the best choice; alternative search drivers may exist that make search more effective. This study proposes and investigates a new family of behavioral search drivers, which inspect not only final program output, but also program behavior meant as the partial results it arrives at while executed.
