Design of Prioritized N-Wise Testing
Abstract
Open image in new window
-wise testing is a widely used technique for combinatorial interaction testing. Prioritizing testing reorders test cases by relevance, testing important aspects more thoroughly. We propose a novel technique for Open image in new window
-wise test case generation to satisfy the three distinct prioritization criteria of interaction coverage, weight coverage, and KL divergence. The proposed technique generates small Open image in new window
-wise test cases, where high-priority test cases appear early and frequently. Our early evaluation confirms that the proposed technique improves on existing techniques based on the three prioritization criteria.
