TOBAC1 is part of a test management system for object-oriented software. A test case
browser built under the Smalltalk-80 environment to dejire, manage and execute test cases …

We propose a new method of determining an effective ordering of regression test cases, and
describe its implementation as an automated tool called SuiteBuilder developed by …

This article describes a new approach to the unit testing of object-oriented programs, a set of
tools based on this approach, and two case studies. In this approach, each test case …

Regression testing is an expensive but necessary maintenance activity performed on
modified software to provide confidence that changes are correct and do not adversely affect …

When a software system enters the maintenance phase, the availability of accurate and
consistent information about its organization can help alleviate the difficulties of program …

Regression test selection techniques are proposed often but are many times inaccurate
when used with larger systems. The proposed new selection technique will be safer, more …

Test case prioritization focuses on finding a suitable order of execution of the test cases in a
test suite to meet some performance goals like detecting faults early. It is likely that some test …

With object-oriented approaches, testing should center on objects, classes, generic classes
and super classes, inheritance and polymorphism, instead of subprograms. In object …

Small changes can have major and nonlocal effects in object-oriented languages, due to the
use of subtyping and dynamic dispatch. This complicates life for maintenance programmers …

A number of activities involved in testing software are known to be difficult and time
consuming. Among them is the isolation of faults once failures have been detected. In this …
