There exist a large number of approaches for prioritization of software requirements. Despite of several empirical studies, there is still a lack of evidence of which approaches that are to prefer, since different studies have resulted in different conclusions. Reasons may be due to differences in contexts, variables measured, and data sets used. This paper presents a research framework for stu...

Test Case Prioritization (TCP) is setting priority to each and every test case from test case suit and executes those test cases in descending order. The proposed generic tool will first generate test cases from UML diagram sequence diagram and prioritize them on basis of following criteria's: prioritization on depending upon depth, prioritization on dependency of number of parameters, pri...

The testing of event driven software has significant role to improve overall quality of software. Due to event driven nature of GUI based software many test cases are generated and it is difficult to identify test cases whose fault revealing capability is high. To identify those test cases test suite prioritization is done. Various test suite prioritization methods exists for GUI based software...

When establishing lightpaths in an all-optical DWDM network, it is possible that concurrent lightpath requests will block one another if the lightpaths attempt to reserve the same wavelength on the same link. In this paper, we propose a novel signaling mechanism, referred to as label prioritization, which attempts to reduce the backward-link blocking in GMPLS-centric all-optical networks by ass...

Test case prioritization aims to schedule test cases in a certain order such that the effectiveness of regression testing can be improved. Prioritization using random sequence is a basic and simple technique, and normally acts as a benchmark to evaluate other prioritization techniques. Adaptive Random Sequence (ARS) makes use of extra information to improve the diversity of random sequence. Som...

— Cybersecurity research demands extensive experimentation to be validated. This experimentation is inherently risky: it may involve any combination of live malicious code, disruptive actions and connectivity to the active Internet. Previously, risky experiments were heavily contained to reduce danger to the experimental infrastructure and the Internet. We argue that such an approach unnecessar...

Dependence on intuitive and experiences would add more complexity in the design process. Novice designers would follow the design of any existing systems without direction. This paper proposed a systematic design approach that provides guidance for novice designers in achieving the targeted usability goal using patterns, and evaluating the prototypes in achieving the determined usability goals....

Requirement engineering plays a very important role in software development life cycle (SDLC). Generally Software projects suffer with the problem of various types and categories of requirements and are also delimited by constraints like time and budget. To deal with this type of requirement complexity, project managers need to prioritize the requirements of the proposed software effectively. T...

Prioritization of cancer implicated genes has received growing attention as an effective way to reduce wet lab cost by computational analysis that ranks candidate genes according to the likelihood that experimental verifications will succeed. A multitude of gene prioritization tools have been developed, each integrating different data sources covering gene sequences, differential expressions, f...

Land preservation and restoration are important tools for managing imperiled aquatic species, but they are often applied in the absence of a transparent scheme of geographic prioritization. To help guide preservation and restoration efforts in the Conasauga River Basin in Georgia and Tennessee, we used the “Zonation” algorithm to prioritize sub-watersheds. Zonation is a prioritization system th...
