Regression testing is a means to assure that a change in the software, or its execution
environment, does not introduce new defects. It involves the expensive undertaking of …

Regression testing is important but can be time-intensive. One approach to speed it up is
regression test selection (RTS), which runs only a subset of tests. RTS was proposed over …

Although white-box regression test prioritization has been well-studied, the more recently
introduced black-box prioritization approaches have neither been compared against each …

The research community in Software Engineering and Software Testing in particular builds
many of its contributions on a set of mutually shared expectations. Despite the fact that they …

Regression test selection (RTS) aims to reduce regression testing time by only re-running
the tests affected by code changes. Prior research on RTS can be broadly split into dy namic …

Software testing is one of the key activities to achieve software quality in practice. Despite its
importance, however, we have a remarkable lack of knowledge on how developers test in …

Regression testing is widely used in practice for validating program changes. However,
running large regression suites can be costly. Researchers have developed several …

Continuous Integration (CI) is a popular practice in modern software engineering.
Unfortunately, it is also a high-cost practice—Google and Mozilla estimate their CI systems …

Regression testing is a crucial, but potentially time-consuming, part of software
development. Regression test selection (RTS), which runs only a subset of tests, was …

Slow builds remain a plague for software developers. The frequency with which code can be
built (compiled, tested and packaged) directly impacts the productivity of developers: longer …
