    A group is said to be \((2,p)\)-generated if it can be generated by two elements \(X,Y\) of respective orders \(2\) and \(p\), where \(p\) is a prime.NEWLINENEWLINE The author of this paper provides an overview of the research done on the \((2,p)\)-generation of groups. The main result obtained by the author is that the finite simple groups \(\text{PSp}_6(q)\), \(\Omega_7(q)\) and \(\text{PSU}_7(q^2)\) are \((2,3)\)-generated for all \(q\).
