TEST CASE PRIORITIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR OBJECT ORIENTED SOFTWARE USING METHOD COMPLEXITY

摘要

Minimization of cost and time for testing the software is a challenging task for every software industry. Although the new technology and testing tools are being developed and used by the software industry, testing cost of the software is increasing rapidly. Further the customer expectation increases, the size of test suit also increases. So it is very difficult to execute the large test suite. In this paper, an algorithm for test case prioritization of object oriented software based on method complexity is presented. The method complexity is determined by using some factors which are identified by the structural analysis of the software. For experimental verification and validation the proposed approach has been applied on two case studies implemented in C++ and Java. The analyses of the results show the efficacy of the proposed approach.
