AN OVERVIEW OF TEST CASE PRIORITIZATION TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Test case prioritization techniques engage preparation over test cases in an order that improves the performance
of regression testing. It is inefficient to re-execute every test cases for every program function if once change occurs. Test
case prioritization is to be planned based on higher priority than lower priority to meet some performance goal. The crisis of
test case selection can be solved by prioritizing the test case. The key aim of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of
prioritized and nonprioritized test case with the help of APFD(Average Percentage Faults Detected). Test case prioritization
techniques could be of great benefit to increasing the effectiveness of test suites in practice. Test case prioritization is a
technique helps to increase the rate of fault detection. In this research work, various test case prioritization techniques are
analyzed with regression techniques and Genetic algorithm.
