Empirically revisiting the test independence assumption

S Zhang, D Jalali, J Wuttke, K Muşlu, W Lam… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
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 …

Balancing trade-offs in test-suite reduction
