A Cost Model to Compare Regression Test Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, regression testing has been receiving increasing attention. Several selective regression testing strategies have been introduced. One question that demands an answer is the cost benefits of the selective regression testing strategies compared to the traditional retest-all strategy. This paper first presents a test cost model and then identifies the conditions under which the selective strategy is more economical than the retest-all strategy.

Regression testing is an important testing activity that can account for a large proportion of the cost of software maintenance. One approach to reducing the cost of regression testing is to employ a selective regression testing technique that (1) selects a subset of a test suite that was used to test the software before the modiications, and then (2) uses this subset to test the modiied softwa...

متن کاملThe Predictive Power of Syntactic Knowledge, Vocabulary Breadth and Metacognitive Strategies for L2 Reading Fluency
Fluent reading is a multifaceted ability that integrates several linguistic and non-linguistic processes. Accordingly, recognizing the critical components of fluent reading is highly significant in planning and implementing effective reading programs. This study was undertaken to evaluate the predictive power of syntactic knowledge, vocabulary breadth, and metacognitive awareness of reading str...
