Abstract
Most of the test cases minimization reduced test cases during regression testing to generate new test suite to cover the same software requirements.The objective of this paper is to present new framework that integrate the idea of minimization and prioritization.Hence, reduction and prioritization able to reduce test cases based on the statements covered by the previous test cases to avoid redundancy.Beginning from the reduction of the test cases, followed by weighted prioritizationaccording to their usefulness.The framework was tested using sample test suite and the results obtained shown increases on the average percentage of faults detection (APFD). Future plan is to test on the larger size of test suite.
Highlights
According to Roger (2001) more than half of the total amount of the software develpment is spend on maintainingactivity of software. Rothermel and Harrold (1994) and Hussain et al, 2020assert that one of the most important phase in software maintenance is regression testing in order to be certain that amendments due to corrections or update did not change the initial functionality and the requirement
The reduction and elimination of redundant test cases generated are what lead to test case minimization (TCM)
The end goal is to guarantee that the regression test case reduction and prioritization algorithms work legitimately; we give a preparatory acceptance of the algorithms prior to their useful usage and observational/empirical assessment
Summary
According to Roger (2001) more than half of the total amount of the software develpment is spend on maintainingactivity of software. Rothermel and Harrold (1994) and Hussain et al, 2020assert that one of the most important phase in software maintenance is regression testing in order to be certain that amendments due to corrections or update did not change the initial functionality and the requirement. Test cases are use to evaluate the quality of the system by executing them. Sumalath and Raji (2014) state that measuring of the quality of the generated test cases needs to be conducted systematically. The reduction and elimination of redundant test cases generated are what lead to test case minimization (TCM). TCM is the act of reducing the number of test cases using systematic method and procedure while maintaining the initial coverage criteria (Sumalath and Raji 2014). Yoo and Harman (2012) state that test suite reduction is aims at reducing the number of tests to test. The main objective of most of proposed algorithms is to reduce the test suite size
