Abstract

Software computing is a goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating applications for commercial, network communications etc. The process of development includes designing, building and testing software systems for a wide range of purposes, processing, structuring, and managing various kinds of information. To validate the developed one, time and resource constraints are taken into account; therefore test suite reduction technique is the important stage to be followed to test the developed software. Several test suite reduction techniques are present. Our approach is a new type of test suite reduction heuristic in which we propose an algorithm for test suite reduction based on changed condition/coverage criteria (CC/CC) to test the software on satisfying complete user’s requirement with less time, cost and more coverage of requirements this increases computing efficiency.
