Test Case Prioritization Algorithm Based Upon Modified Code Coverage in Regression Testing

Abstract

Test case prioritization involves scheduling test cases so that performance of regression testing can be improved. To re execute all test cases after every modification in the code is an inefficient process. A technique is to execute the modified lines of code with minimum number of test cases. The proposed test case prioritization technique organizes the test case in a test suite in an ordering such that fewer lines of code need to be re executed thus faster code coverage is attained which would lead to early detection of faults.
