Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a family of techniques that support the automation of designing and drafting 2D and 3D models with computer programs. CAD software is a software platform that provides the process from designing to modeling, such as AutoCAD or FreeCAD. Due to complex functions, the quality of CAD software plays an important role in designing reliable 2D and 3D models. There are many dependencies between defects in CAD software. Software testing is a practical way to detect defects in CAD software development. However, it is expensive to frequently run all the test cases for all functions. In this paper, we design an approach to learning to prioritize test cases for the CAD software, called PriorCadTest. The key idea of this approach is to quantify functional units and to train a learnable model to prioritize test cases. The output of the approach is a sequence of existing test cases. We evaluate PriorCadTest on seven modules of an open-source real-world CAD project, ArtOfIllusion. The Average Percentage of Fault Detect (APFD) is used to measure the effectiveness. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the current industrial practice without test case prioritization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
