Abstract

To test software products effectively, large number of test cases are designed. But it is nearly impossible to execute all the tests due to tight time constraints and some other reasons such as availability of experts etc. Due to these reasons, the necessity of reducing the number of test cases comes into existence. Test case prioritization helps to reduce the number of test cases. This paper presents an approach that focuses on prioritizing the test cases. Proposed approach prioritizes test cases on the basis of requirements identified and risk factors that can occur in a software project.

A Unified Test Case Prioritization Approach

Test case prioritization techniques attempt to reorder test cases in a manner that increases the rate at which faults are detected during regression testing. Coverage-based test case prioritization techniques typically use one of two overall strategies: ...

Regression testing is an activity in the software testing process to ensure the software is validated and verified after modification occurred on software. It is costly process procedure which has been expected to reach half cost of the software ...
A Static Approach to Prioritizing JUnit Test Cases

Test case prioritization is used in regression testing to schedule the execution order of test cases so as to expose faults earlier in testing. Over the past few years, many test case prioritization techniques have been proposed in the literature. Most ...
