Regression Test

Test case prioritization (TCP) is a software testing technique that finds an ideal ordering of test cases for regression testing, so that testers can obtain the maximum benefit of their test suite, even if the testing process is stop at some arbitrary point. The recent trend of software development uses OO paradigm. This paper proposed a cost-cognizant TCP approach for object-oriented software that uses path-based integration testing. Path-based integration testing will identify the possible execution path and extract these paths from the Java System Dependence Graph (JSDG) model of the source code using forward slicing technique. Afterward evolutionary algorithm (EA) was employed to prioritize test cases based on the severity detection per unit cost for each of the dependent faults. The proposed technique was known as Evolutionary Cost-Cognizant Regression Test Case Prioritization (ECRTP) and being implemented as regression testing approach for experiment.

The Ideal

Modifications in software can affect some functionality that had been working until that point. In order to detect such a problem, the ideal solution would be testing the whole system once again, but there may be insufficient time or resources for this approach. An alternative solution is to order the test cases so that the most beneficial tests are executed first, in such a way only a subset of the test cases can be executed with little lost of effectiveness. Such a technique is known as regression test case prioritization. In this paper, we propose the use of the Reactive GRASP metaheuristic to prioritize test cases. We also compare this metaheuristic with other search-based algorithms previously described in literature. Five programs were used in the experiments. The experimental results demonstrated good coverage performance with some time overhead for the proposed technique. It also demonstrated a high stability of the results generated by the proposed approach.
