A Novel Approach for Test Case Prioritization Using Priority Level Technique

This paper presents a novel approach for test case prioritization using a simple mathematical prioritization level technique. In this we have identified a number of generic parameters under GUI, Database, Networking heads and taken into consideration a number of projects falling in a particular category of projects .For each of these projects falling under a given category, we utilize experts opinion to classify the level of user requirement concerning the parameters and the extent to which it has been satisfied by each of the projects, at the first instance, on a six scale basis. The information of all the tables is combined to generate a Project Specific Base Table (PSBT). Whenever a new project under the same category comes up, respective priority levels are assigned to each of these identified parameters, i.e. we prioritize the test cases concerning the identified parameters by utilizing the information from the PSBT and using some mathematical calculations. Keywords— Prioritization, Project Specific Base Table.
