Test Case Prioritization Using Regression Testing

  Supriya S. Lichade,  Parveen Thakur

Regression testing is very important process in software testing but it is an expensive process. Regression means the re-execution of already existing thing. While performing Regression Testing there may be insufficient resources to perform re-execution of all test cases. Test case prioritization helps to improve the effectiveness of Regression Testing. However, running all the test cases in the test suite is prohibitive in most cases. Optimization of test case execution time to maximize the early fault detection rate of the original test suite will help to minimize the cost of regression testing. Because of resource and time constraint, it becomes necessary to develop some techniques which help to minimize existing test suites by removing redundant test cases and prioritizing them. Recently, clustering has been recognized as a primary data mining method for knowledge discovery in spatial database. The database can be clustered in many ways depending on the clustering algorithm employed, parameter settings used, and other factors. Multiple clustering can be combined so that the final partitioning of data provides better clustering.
