In this paper, we consider a problem that arises in black box testing: generating small test
suites (ie, sets of test cases) where the combinations that have to be covered are specified …

Code coverage is the dominant criterion in test-suite reduction. Typically, most test-suite
reduction techniques repeatedly remove tests covering code that has been covered by other …

Regression testing is an expensive testing process used to validate software following
modifications. The cost-effectiveness of regression testing techniques varies with …

The research community has long recognized a complex interrelationship between fault
detection, test adequacy criteria, and test set size. However, there is substantial confusion …

Automated test suite generation (ATSG) is an important topic in software engineering, with a
wide range of techniques and tools being used in academia and industry. While their …

Regression testing is an important activity that can be expensive (eg, for large test suites).
Test suite reduction approaches speed up regression testing by removing redundant test …

The empirical assessment of test techniques plays an important role in software testing
research. One common practice is to seed faults in subject software, either manually or by …

Test suite reduction approaches aim at decreasing software regression testing costs by
selecting a representative subset from large-size test suites. Most existing techniques are …

In a test suite, all the test cases should be independent: no test should affect any other test's
result, and running the tests in any order should produce the same test results. Techniques …

Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for execution in an order that
attempts to increase their effectiveness at meeting some performance goal. Various goals …
