Abstract

Regression testing, as an important part of the software life cycle, ensures the validity of modified software. Researchers’ focus of this research is on functional requirement-based ‘Test Case Prioritization’ (TCP) because requirement specifications help keep the software correctness on customers’ perceived priorities. This research study is aimed to investigate requirement-based TCP approaches, regression testing aspects, applications regarding the validation of proposed TCP approaches, systems’ size under regression testing, test case size and relevant revealed faults, TCP related issues, TCP issues and types of primary studies. Researchers of this paper examined research publications, which have been published between 2009 and 2019, within the seven most significant digital repositories. These repositories are popular, and mostly used for searching papers on topics in software engineering domain. We have performed a meticulous screening of research studies and selected 35 research papers through which to investigate the answers to the proposed research questions. The final outcome of this paper showed that functional requirement-based TCP approaches have been widely covered in primary studies. The results indicated that fault size and the number of test cases are mostly discussed as regression testing aspects within primary studies. In this review paper, it has been identified that iTrust system is widely examined by researchers in primary studies. This paper’s conclusion indicated that most of the primary studies have been demonstrated in the real-world settings by respective researchers of focused primary studies. The findings of this “Systematic Literature Review” (SLR) reveal some suggestions to be undertaken in future research works, such as improving the software quality, and conducting evaluations of larger systems.
