Abstract
Regression testing is primarily a maintenance activity that is performed frequently to ensure the validity of the modified software. In such cases, due to time and cost constraints, the entire test suite cannot be run. Thus, it becomes essential to select or prioritize the tests in order to cover maximum faults in minimum time. Recently, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), which is a new way to solve time constraint prioritization problem, has been utilized. This paper presents the analysis of the regression test prioritization technique to reorder test suites in time constraint environment along with the sample runs on various programs. Our analysis concluded that the ACO finds better orderings at higher values of the time constraint (TC). The correctness of the technique has also been recorded to be near optimal at an average.
