Abstract

Test case prioritization involves scheduling test cases in an order that increases their effectiveness in meeting some performance goals. One of the common performance goals is to run those test cases that achieve total code coverage at the earliest. In this work we propose a model that achieves 100% code coverage optimally during version specific regression testing.
