METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING REGRESSION TESTS |
摘要 |
A method (400) for performing a regression test on a software application is proposed. The regression test involves the execution (481-463) of a subset of selected test cases on the software application (among all the ones being available). In the proposed solution, the selection of the test cases to be regressed (409-448) is performed according to an effectiveness-based criterion. For this purpose, an effectiveness index of each test case is calculated (424-442) according to its results being obtained during previous executions of the test case; preferably, the effectiveness index is based on the frequency of negative results of the test case (and secondarily on their variability and recency). The test cases whose effectiveness indexes reach a predefined threshold are then selected (448) for running the regression test (on the assumption that they should be more effective in detecting errors of the software application). |
