Regression Test-Selection Technique Using Component Model Based Modification: Code to Test Traceability

Regression Test-Selection Technique Using Component Model Based Modification: Code to Test Traceability

Regression testing is a safeguarding procedure to validate and verify adapted software, and guarantee that no errors have emerged. However, regression testing is very costly when testers need to re-execute all the test cases against the modified software. This paper proposes a new approach in regression test selection domain. The approach is based on metamodels (test models and structured model...

Regression Test Case Traceability and Selection Methodology

This whitepaper aims to outline a standard regression methodology that can be adopted for a testing project. It creates and interlinks standard set of parameters and processes, which produce quantifiable values for each test case. It talks about the extended traceability, challenges, overlooked parameters and their significance, process derivatives and finally tries to arrive at a standard algo...

Using component metadata to regression test component-based software

Increasingly, modern-day software systems are being built by combining externally-developed software components with application-specific code. For such systems, existing program-analysis-based softwareengineering techniques may not directly apply, due to lack of information about components. To address this problem, the use of component metadata has been proposed. Component metadata are metada...

Improving Model-based Regression Test Selection

Existing model-based regression test selection approaches are based on analyzing changes performed at the model level. These approaches have three limitations. First, they cannot detect all types of changes from design models. Second, they do not identify the impact of changes to the inheritance hierarchy of the classes. Third, their applicability is limited due to the abstraction gap between t...
