The use of genetic programming, in combination of model checking and testing, provides a powerful way to synthesize programs. Whereas classical algorithmic synthesis provides alarming high complexity and undecidability results, the genetic approach provides a surprisingly successful heuristics. We describe several versions of a method for synthesizing sequential and concurrent systems. To cope with the constraints of model checking and of theorem proving, we combine such exhaustive verification methods with testing. We show several examples where we used our approach to synthesize, improve and correct code.
