Study and Analysis of Test Case Prioritization Technique

Abstract

Context: The purpose of regression testing is to validate the altered program and identify the adverse affect in program due to modification. The technique of test case prioritization is used to plan test instances to maximize certain objectives. Regression testing is mainly a maintenance activity. The primary goal behind this study and analysis is to provide a basis for conducting research in the area of prioritization of regression testing. Objective: This paper examines each technique of the prioritization process and addresses the open problem and possible directions for future study. A number of academic papers from 2000 to 2018 were evaluated in this study. We explored the database of Google Scholar, IEEE explores, Springer, ACM, Science Direct, and Inspec.
