Abstract: Era of cloud computing where majority of the application is becoming web based enterprise computing. User prefer online web application for easy of use and business continuity [1]. Software companies have come up in huge numbers for developing web based enterprise application. Testing is an integral part of any software company which requires more effort. Enterprise applications are complex and navigation is largely based on hyperlink connecting the web pages. Testing phase mostly associated with time constrain to accomplish the task associated in this phase. Main activity of testing phase is execution of test case to test the application. Exhaustive testing is not possible and release a software system without testing the entire application is risk [2]. This paper demonstrates how graph theory can be used to prioritize the test case execution.

Keywords: Testing, Graph theory application
