Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for regression testing in an order that increases their ability to meet some performance goal. One performance goal, rate of fault detection, measures how quickly faults are detected within the testing process. Previous work has provided a metric, APFD, for measuring rate of fault detection, and techniques for prioritizing test cases in or...

The delivery of new increments involves decision makings at various levels like decision aspect prioritization, requirement priorities and selections of regression test cases. The pressure to deliver high quality low cost software by employing limited resources and satisfying mass market invokes the need to have less dependence on regression testing activity. Earlier Proposed requirement priori...

In the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a decision maker first gives linguistic pairwise comparisons, then obtains numerical pairwise comparisons by selecting certain numerical scale to quantify them, and finally derives a priority vector from the numerical pairwise comparisons. In particular, the validity of this decision-making tool relies on the choice of numerical scale and the design of p...

Genetic screens are powerful methods for the discovery of gene-phenotype associations. However, a systems biology approach to genetics must leverage the massive amount of "omics" data to enhance the power and speed of functional gene discovery in vivo. Thus far, few computational methods for gene function prediction have been rigorously tested for their performance on a genome-wide scale in viv...

This section presents detailed results for our study for RQ1 using the APFD metric. For each application, we divide the prioritization criteria into two sets (static and usage event-based) and present them in two graphs to better show the trends. The graphs are shown in log-scale. The controls (G-Best, Random, and G-Worst) appear in each graph. We also present the APFD values for the different ...

A Geoinformatic Hotspot Surveillance System (GHS) will be demonstrated. This system is comprised of an upper level set scan statistic system for hotspot delineation, and a poset prioritization and ranking system for hotspot prioritization. Surveillance geoinformatics partnership consists of several interested cross-disciplinary scientists from academia, agencies and private sector.

Context: During requirements engineering, prioritization is performed to grade or rank requirements in their order of importance and subsequent implementation releases. It is a major step taken in making crucial decisions so as to increase the economic value of a system. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze existing prioritization techniques in the context of the form...

Identifying disease genes is very important not only for better understanding of gene function and biological process but also for human medical improvement. Many computational methods have been proposed based on the similarity between all known disease genes (seed genes) and candidate genes in the entire gene interaction network. Under the hypothesis that potential disease-related genes should...

Software testing is important phase of software development life cycle which ensure the developer that the developed software work according to specifications or not. To make testing efficient and effective a techniques of test case prioritization are used. A well-organized Test case prioritization technique reduces the cost of testing and fault detection capabilities of testing. We will go to ...

Recording actual user interactions with a system is often useful for testing software applications. Users-session based test suites that contain records of such interactions often finds a complementary set of faults compared to test suites created by testers. This work utilizes such test suites and presents a new prioritization method that extends the existing combinatorial two-way inter-window...
