Abstract

This paper presents ORTS, a tool for facilitating testers to generate optimized regression test suite for commercial Java applications. The aspects emphasized by the demonstration are: (1) how to help testers capture runtime traces of test execution; (2) how to identify change points during the build update; (3) how does ORTS improve the efficiency of the regression testing and reduce the cost by generating optimized regression test suite. The whole design strategy is lightweight, making the regression test selection process more automated and effective, and scalable to commercial regression testing scenarios with resource and time constraints.

Empirical Studies of a Safe Regression Test Selection Technique

Regression testing is an expensive testing procedure utilized to validate modified software. Regression test selection techniques attempt to reduce the cost of regression testing by selecting a subset of a program's existing test suite. Safe regression ...

Regression testing is a testing activity that is performed to provide confidence that changes do not harm the existing behaviour of the software. Test suites tend to grow in size as software evolves, often making it too costly to execute entire test ...
Comparing and combining test-suite reduction and regression test selection
ESEC/FSE 2015: Proceedings of the 2015 10th Joint Meeting on Foundations of Software Engineering

Regression testing is widely used to check that changes made to software do not break existing functionality, but regression test suites grow, and running them fully can become costly. Researchers have proposed test-suite reduction and regression test ...
