One of the most important activities in software maintenance is Regression testing. The re-execution of all test cases during the regression testing is costly. And even though several of the code based proposed techniques address procedural programs, so many of them can't be use directly on object-oriented programs. This paper presents modificationrevealing test case selection for regression testing of object-oriented software using dependence graph model analysis of the source code. The experimental evaluation of our proposed approach was done using nine programs. We measured the performances of our selection approach using precision and inclusiveness metrics. It was observed from the results that our approach increase the efficiency and effectiveness of regression testing in term of precision and inclusiveness. It was concluded that selection of modificationrevealing test cases based on affected statements provides considerably better results for precision and inclusiveness compared to retest-all and random technique, and reducing the cost of regression testing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
