Regression testing is an effective tool or technique used for minimizing the efforts and resource consumption when a new version or the modification in the software project is tested. In such project, the testing is performed only on the selected modules or testcases. The sequence of the testcase execution also matter in regression testing. Researchers used various evolutionary, swarm based and mathematical methods for testcase prioritization and optimization. Researchers also used the fault based or coverage based measures for testcase prioritization. In this paper, the functional contribution of the recent research is provided. The research method, projects and the contribution of the work is discussed in this paper. In this paper, the framework of the proposed dynamic programming based weighted method is provided. The paper defined the work stages of the proposed model. The algorithm for test sequence generation is also provided in this paper. The analysis results of the work are provided against the greedy and dynamic programming based methods. The results are derived for cost and the number of testcases processed by the method. The results show that the proposed model improved the performance effectively.

“…A number of approaches have been proposed in literature to reduce the cost of software testing which include test prioritization 13,28 , test selection 7,19 , and test minimization 25,16 . The purpose of test prioritization is to rank test cases so that test cases that are more effective according to a given criteria will be executed first to maximize the fault detection rate.…”

Software testing is usually starts with the Unit testing phase. The goal of unit testing is to reveal logic and implementation errors in each unit. The unit testing process is usually costly and time-consuming especially when the system under test is very large. In addition, because of the time pressures, the testing team may not find time to fully test the product. Therefore, identifying the units that have most of the errors helps the testing team to focus on testing them to save time and resources. In this paper, we propose an approach for unit testing that weights each method using a combination of static object-oriented metrics. The proposed approach predicts the number of test cases necessary to test system methods. It assumes that complex methods contain more errors which require executing more test cases to test the complex methods. The goal of this work is to help software developers where to dedicate their available resources when performing unit testing. The experimental results on the studied Java systems show that how small number of test cases are needed and how those test cases detect a high percentage of errors.

“…Test case prioritization is an efficient and practical technique of regression testing. It is useful to increase the competence of regression testing by sorting and implementing test cases according to their significance [5]. Test case prioritization has also been employed to decrease the quality assurance cost and for minimizing the fault detection effort [2].…”

Effective functionality checking of any software application is the crucial event that determines the quality of outcome obtained. Generally, checking scenarios that involves multiple test cases in mixture with multiple components is time consuming and also increases the quality assurance cost. Selection of suitable method/approach for optimization and prioritization of test cases as well as appropriate evaluation of the application would result in reduction of fault detection effort without appreciable information loss and further would also significantly decrease the clearing up cost. In the proposed method, test cases are optimized and then prioritized by Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) and Improved Cuckoo Search algorithm (ICSA), respectively. Finally, the result will be evaluated for software quality measures.
