An Effective Test Suite Reduction Using Priority Cost Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Effective testing can develop quality software with higher productivity at a lower cost. As the software is modified and new test cases are added to the test suite, the size of the test suite grows and the cost of testing is also increases. In order to reduce the cost of testing researcher have investigated the use of test suite reduction technique. Redundancy in test suite increases the execution cost. Weighted set covering Technique can be used to solve the test suite minimization. This paper adapts the cost and priority factor to reduce the test suite. We conduct a comparison between the different algorithm and design a formula for the test suite reduction. Keywords-Software testing; Test suite reduction; Redundancy; Weighted Set Covering; Minimal test suite; Total cost; Priority

Test-Suite Reduction and Prioritization for Modified Condition/Decision Coverage
Software testing is particularly expensive for developers of high-assurance software, such as software that is produced for commercial airborne systems. One reason for this expense is the Federal Aviation Administration’s requirement that test suites be modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) adequate. Despite its cost, there is evidence that MC/DC is an effective verification technique an...
متن کاملRegression Testing Cost Reduction Suite
The estimated cost of software maintenance exceeds 70 percent of total software costs [1], and large portion of this maintenance expenses is devoted to regression testing. Regression testing is an expensive and frequently executed maintenance activity used to revalidate the modified software. Any reduction in the cost of regression testing would help to reduce the software maintenance cost. Tes...
متن کاملA Simple Technique to Find Diverse Test Cases
As the software modified, new test cases are added to the test suits, the test suite grows and the cost of regression testing increases. This paper defines a technique to solve these problems and make the testing cost effective. We introduce a set of test case comparison metrics algorithms which will quantitatively calculate the diversity between any arbitrary test case pair of an existing test...
متن کاملRegression Testing Prioritization, Selection and Reduction using Hybrid Criteria
Regression testing is a software testing technique. Testing and validating the part of code are the activity performed within different phases. Tasks of regression testing are: Test Case Prioritization, Test Suite Selection, Test case reduction which give the guarantee that no intended fault is produced while modifying the code. This paper hybrid all the criteria’s in different prospective with...
متن کاملA Cost-Aware Test Suite Minimization Approach Using TAP Measure and Greedy Search Algorithm
Software testing is required to detect the faults and to ensure the quality of the software under development. Usually, test suites are used to evaluate the software system during the software development cycle. But often test suites contain more redundant test cases due to overlapped test objectives. So, the test-suite reduction is an important step to reduce the number of test cases so as to ...
