Abstract

Regression testing is an expensive and frequently executed activity, which is often performed in a resource constrained execution environment. As resource-aware test suite optimization problem can be reduced to the 0-1 knapsack problem, which can be efficiently approximated with multiple algorithms. This paper proposes a new resource-aware test suite optimization technique and corresponding metric. The effectiveness of the technique and metric are illustrated by a case study.
