“…There are many phases of software testing ST, during which many techniques are used, and among these techniques, the most important of which is the regression testing RT. Regression testing is of great importance because it verifies that the code that was updated recently, whether its previous functions were affected by this modification or not, it does not matter how many times you make changes in the code, but regression testing must be carried out to ensure the stability of the program after the code has been changed [5].…”

The software testing phase is an essential phase of software development. Its aim is to ensure that the program meets the desired requirements of it. Through the testing process, errors are found in the programs so that they can be fixed before deployment, i.e. before being used or delivered to the customer. The program must also be tested after to be published and delivered, this is called regression testing and it is one of the basic activities in software development and it must be done in the software maintenance phase to ensure its reliability. In this research, a tool was built that selects the optimal test cases that are used in the regression testing phase, using artificial intelligence techniques. The Crow Search Algorithm was used in the test case selection, and after modifications and improvements were made to the algorithm, the Improved Crow algorithm was proposed, which generates and selects test cases that achieve the basic paths of the program based on the improved fitness function, the dynamic awareness probability value of the crow, and the spiral search mechanism for the crows. In addition, the genetic algorithm was used for these test cases prioritization.

Regression testing is a vital category of software testing. Regression testing is done to make sure that the changed code does not have any unexpected negative effects on the software. Regression testing, despite its significance in ensuring software quality, can be a costly phase in the software testing process. Typically, the more tests there are, the longer it takes for them to run. As a result, the price of regression testing rises with the quantity of tests. So, the objective is to reduce the execution time of the regression testing by removing test cases that are redundant or have lower importance in terms of their capacity to uncover faults. The primary aim of test case reduction is to decrease the number of test cases, which, in turn, lowers the time and expenses associated with their execution. This paper presents an approach to minimize the execution time of regression testing while preserving code coverage, achieved through the utilization of test suite reduction techniques and parallel automation execution. The employed test suite reduction approach involves utilizing a clustering technique and a genetic algorithm. The resulting reduced test suite is then executed in parallel to achieve the shortest possible execution time. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can cut down execution time by 75%.

“…Those test cases with the highest priority are executed earlier. TCP can enhance the software qualities within a limited time and cost [3]. Due to the high cost and time consuming of software testing, TCP is one of the methods that can reduce the time and cost.…”

Software testing is the most importance phases for software development life cycle. However, it is always time consuming and costly. In order to solve this problem, regression testing is required to be conducted since it can verify the software modifications with zero effect to the software actual features. TCP is one type of the regression testing techniques. It can reduce the cost and time taken. In the area of TCP, there are several algorithms and the most powerful algorithms is the nature inspired algorithms. This study will focus on the comparison analysis of prioritization of test case by using PSO and FA. In order to choose an algorithm with better performance between PSO and FA, they are turned into the form of Python code. Then, PSO and FA are implemented into Case Study A and Case Study B. Their result will be compared and analysis based on the execution time, Big-O, and APFD. The comparison showed that FA is outperform than PSO since FA has the least execution time (0.001 second), less complexity (O(N)) than PSO (O(N3)), and same APFD values (0.520 and 0.600). Thus, FA has better prioritization performance compared to PSO.
