ENHANCED TECHNIQUE FOR REGRESSION TESTING

Arpit Agrawal, Sanjay Babu Ahirwar

Abstract: Regression testing perform where to retest modified version of software which already modified by developers on the basis of Feedback and testing of the software. Regression testing performs where no internal software knowledge and code known by the tester. Here all test cases not possible to retest this is a problem. So here we will use test case priority technique. that will provide priority to retest test case first. this test case priority technique uses for increase efficiency of regression testing. Because high priority test case execute first. and in our proposed technique we are set priority on the basis of [average time for execution(figure.1).which find out average time for execution on the basis of fault/time. and we will also ignore test cases which contain same average time for execution and we will select only one test cases in this situation.. After arrange test cases in descending order by average time of test cases execute test suite. This method gives more prioritization of test cases is compare to previous techniques. Finally we will get more prioritized test suite. Then we have also checked efficiency of this new method by APFD Metric [1]. Our primary purpose of this research paper to introduce new prioritization technique which provides better result is compare to previous techniques. which improves efficiency of Regression testing
