Adaptive Test-Case Prioritization Guided by Output Inspection

by Dan Hao, Xu Zhao, Lu Zhang
"... Abstract—Test-case prioritization is to schedule the execution order of test cases so as to maximize some objective (e.g., revealing faults early). The existing test-case prioritization ap-proaches separate the process of test-case prioritization and the process of test-case execution by presenting ..."

an experimental study on eight C programs and four Java programs. The experimental results show that the adaptive approach is usually significantly better than the total test-case prioritization approach and competitive to the additional test-case prioritization approach. Moreover, the adaptive approach is better

To Be Optimal Or Not in Test-Case Prioritization

by Dan Hao, Lu Zhang, Lei Zang, Yanbo Wang, Xingxia Wu, Tao Xie
"... Abstract—Software testing aims to assure the quality of software under test. To improve the efficiency of software testing, especially regression testing, test-case prioritization is proposed to schedule the execution order of test cases in software testing. Among various test-case prioritization te ..."

schedules the execution order of test cases based on their detected faults. Taking this ideal technique as the upper bound of test-case prioritization, we conduct another empirical study for comparing the optimal technique and the simple additional technique with this ideal technique. From

Test case prioritization: A family of empirical studies

by Sebastian Elbaum, Alexey Malishevsky - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 2002
"... Gregg Rothermel z To reduce the cost of regression testing, software testers may prioritize their test cases so that those which are more important, by some measure, are run earlier in the regression testing process. One potential goal of such prioritization is to increase a test suite's rate o ..."

Bridging the Gap between the Total and Additional Test-Case Prioritization Strategies

Abstract—In recent years, researchers have intensively investigated various topics in test-case prioritization, which aims to re-order test cases to increase the rate of fault detection during regression testing. The total and additional prioritization strategies, which prioritize based on total num ..."

Timeaware test-case prioritization using integer linear programming

by Lu Zhang, Shan-shan Hou, Chao Guo, Tao Xie, Hong Mei - in ISSTA , 2009
"... Techniques for test-case prioritization re-order test cases to increase their rate of fault detection. When there is a fixed time budget that does not allow the execution of all the test cases, time-aware techniques for test-case prioritization may achieve a better rate of fault detection than tradi ..."

traditional techniques for test-case prioritization. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to time-aware test-case prioritization using integer linear programming. To evaluate our approach, we performed experiments on two subject programs involving four techniques for our approach, two techniques

TEST-CASE PRIORITIZATIONWITH MODEL-CHECKERS

by Gordon Fraser, Franz Wotawa
"... The order in which test-cases are executed has an influ-ence on the rate at which faults can be detected. In this paper we demonstrate how test-case prioritization can be performed with the use of model-checkers. For this, dif-ferent well known prioritization techniques are adapted for model-based u ..."

-based use. New property based prioritization tech-niques are introduced. In addition it is shown that priori-tization can be done at test-case generation time, thus re-moving the need for test-suite post-processing. Several ex-periments are used to show the validity of these ideas.

Quota-constrained test-case prioritization for regression testing of service-centric systems

by Shan-shan Hou, Lu Zhang, Tao Xie, Jia-su Sun - In Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM 2008 , 2008

Prioritizing Test Cases for Regression Testing

by Sebastian Elbaum, Alexey G. Malishevsky, Gregg Rothermel - In Proceedings of the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis , 2000
"... Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases in an order that increases their effectiveness in meeting some performance goal. One performance goal, rate of fault detection, is a measure of how quickly faults are detected within the testing process; an improved rate of fault detection can ..."

Prioritizing

by Hans-gerhard Gross, Van Gemund, Alberto Gonzalez-sanchez, Eric Piel, Hans-gerhard Gross, Arjan J. C. Gemund
"... Abstract—Test prioritization techniques select test cases that maximize the confidence on the correctness of the system when the resources for quality assurance (QA) are limited. In the event of a test failing, the fault at the root of the failure has to be localized, adding an extra debugging cost ..."
