Test suite minimization is the task of finding a smaller test suite that still fulfills the properties
of the original test suite but which comprises fewer test cases. It is important in practice …

Software regression testing is one of the most critical phases of software development life
cycle, used by developers with the intent of detecting new faults to validate modified …

Test suite reduction is an important approach that decreases the cost of regression testing. A
test suite reduction technique operates based on the relationship between the test cases in …

Context In software development and maintenance, a software system may frequently be
updated to meet rapidly changing user requirements. New test cases will be designed to …

Software testing is one of the most widely used methods for quality assurance and fault
detection purposes. However, it is one of the most expensive, tedious and time consuming …

Test suite minimization problem has been mainly addressed by employing heuristic
techniques or integer linear programming focusing on a specific criterion or bi-criteria. These …

As software projects evolve and grow in size and complexity, so do their test suites. Test
suite reduction (TSR) aims at reducing the size of a test suite by removing redundant and …

Objectives: Development of an efficient test suite minimization approach in order to reduce
the size of a previously acquired test suite and produce a new representative suite which will …

A testing process involves testing the given program with the designed test cases. A testing
objective has to be defined before testing the program. The test cases depend upon the …

The paper presents a novel reduction approach to test suite in regression testing. Our
approach selects a test case from those redundant test cases with the same rank according …
