Test Case Reuse Based on Ontology

Test cases are one of the most important assets in the testing process. This paper presents the testing ontology based SWEBOK and software quality model. The management and retrieval of test cases will play a vital role in test cases reuse. The keyword-based, as well as facet-based retrieval cannot meet user´s flexible query requirement because of lack of semantic information. SWEBOK provides a broad agreement on the content of the software engineering discipline. At last this paper discusses the management and retrieval of test cases based on the semantic similarity of two test concepts in two ontologies according to difference sets of superconcept, subconcept, extension, and intension.
