Recently, several Test Case Prioritization (TCP) techniques have been proposed to order test cases for achieving a goal during test execution, particularly, revealing faults sooner. In the Model-Based Testing (MBT) context, such techniques…
Test case prioritization focuses on finding a suitable order of execution of the test cases in a test suite to meet some performance goals like detecting faults early. It is likely that some test cases execute the program parts that are…
Most software companies have extensive test suites and re-run parts of them continuously to ensure recent changes have no adverse effects. Since test suites are costly to execute, industry needs methods for test case prioritisation (TCP).…
Test case prioritization (TCP) has been an effective strategy to optimize regression testing. Traditionally, test cases are ordered based on some heuristic and rerun against the version under test with the goal of yielding a high failure…
Over the last years, machine learning techniques have been applied to more and more application domains, including software engineering and, especially, software quality assurance. Important application domains have been, e.g., software…
Ensuring that software performance does not degrade after a code change is paramount. A solution is to regularly execute software microbenchmarks, a performance testing technique similar to (functional) unit tests, which, however, often…
Regression testing is an important part of quality control in both software and embedded products, where hardware is involved. It is also one of the most expensive and time consuming part of the product cycle. To improve the cost…
Regression Testing is exclusively executed to guarantee the desirable functionality of existing software after pursuing quite a few amendments or variations in it. Perhaps, it testifies the quality of the modified software by concealing the…
