Abstract

Test case prioritization is a process to order the test cases in such a way that maximum faults are detected as earlier as possible. It is very expensive to execute the unordered test cases. In the present work, a multi-factored cost- and code coverage-based test case prioritization technique is presented that prioritizes the test cases based on the percentage coverage of considered factors and code covered by the test cases. For validation and analysis, the proposed approach has been applied on three object-oriented programs and efficiency of the prioritized suite is analyzed by comparing the APFD of the prioritized and non-prioritized test cases.
