Regression test case prioritization optimizes the ordering of test cases to be executed to meet some criteria like maximum code coverage or high rate of fault detection. In prior work we prioritized test cases according to a hybrid technique using variable based method that combined both selection and prioritization. We inferred in our approach that variables are vital source of changes in the ...

A requirement may be defined as a demand or need. In software engineering, a requirement is a description of what a system should do. Requirements prioritization plays an important role in the requirement engineering process, particularly, with respect to critical tasks like requirements negotiation and software release planning. Selecting the right set of requirements for a product release lar...

The order in which test-cases are executed has an influence on the rate at which faults can be detected. In this paper we demonstrate how test-case prioritization can be performed with the use of model-checkers. For this, different well known prioritization techniques are adapted for model-based use. New property based prioritization techniques are introduced. In addition it is shown that prior...

cost-effectiveness data is useful for use in priority setting decisions in order to improve the efficiency of resources used. this paper thereby responds to eckard et al. which addressed the use of cost-effectiveness data in the actual prioritization decisions in the swedish national clinical guidelines for heart diseases. based on a set of experiences on the use of economic evaluation in prior...

The testing of event driven software has significant role to improve overall quality of software. Due to event driven nature of GUI based software many test cases are generated and it is difficult to identify test cases whose fault revealing capability is high. To identify those test cases test suite prioritization is done. Various test suite prioritization methods exists for GUI based software...

Land preservation and restoration are important tools for managing imperiled aquatic species, but they are often applied in the absence of a transparent scheme of geographic prioritization. To help guide preservation and restoration efforts in the Conasauga River Basin in Georgia and Tennessee, we used the “Zonation” algorithm to prioritize sub-watersheds. Zonation is a prioritization system th...

Requirement engineering plays a very important role in software development life cycle (SDLC). Generally Software projects suffer with the problem of various types and categories of requirements and are also delimited by constraints like time and budget. To deal with this type of requirement complexity, project managers need to prioritize the requirements of the proposed software effectively. T...
