Regression testing is retesting of a software system that has been modified to ensure that any bugs have been fixed and that no other previously working functions have failed as a result of the fixes and that newly added features have not created problems with previous versions of the software. Test case prioritization techniques, which are used to improve the cost-effectiveness of regression t...

Finding the most promising genes among large lists of candidate genes has been defined as the gene prioritization problem. It is a recurrent problem in genetics in which genetic conditions are reported to be associated with chromosomal regions. In the last decade, several different computational approaches have been developed to tackle this challenging task. In this study, we review 19 computat...

We consider a problem commonly faced in industry, involving annual selection of plant capital investments. A typical approach to such a problem uses a multi-knapsack formulation, which takes as input the available budget in each year, the stream of liabilities induced by selecting each project, and the profit, i.e., net present value, of each project. The goal is to select the portfolio of proj...

To enhance the experience of a home network user, prioritization of network traffic is important. Previous solutions to this problem assigned priorities in a static manner. Even though there has been some efforts to assign priorities dynamically, these solutions only used interactivity of applications to prioritize traffic. We present Contextual Router, which achieves better prioritization by d...

Continuous and client-centric requirements reprioritization forms the very core of today’s agile approaches. In this paper, we report on results of a grounded theory study on agile requirements prioritization methods. The outcome is a conceptual model for understanding the inter-iteration prioritization process from client’s perspective. The latter is derived from the authors’ experiences and b...

Priorities for protecting ecosystem services must be identified to ensure future human well-being. Approaches to broad-scale spatial prioritization of ecosystem services are becoming increasingly popular and are a vital precursor to identifying locations where further detailed analyses of the management of ecosystem services is required (e.g., examining trade-offs among management actions). Pri...

Test case prioritization is the way of arranging the test cases on the basis of same defined criteria so that fault detection may be made as earlier as possible and hence cut down the cost incur during testing process. Due to day by day increasing complexity of the software system, a lot of test cases are required to execute for effective validation and verification that adds to cost and time. ...

Software testing is indispensable for all software development. In software development practice, testing accounts for as much has 50% of total development efforts. Regression testing has been used to support software testing activities and assure the acquirement of appropriate quality through several versions of a software program. Regression testing, however, is too expensive because it requi...

Generation and prioritization of test cases is one of the major issue in software testing.Maximum number of faults are identified through test cases only. Clients confidence can be gained through software testing. This paper firstly generates test cases using decision coverage metrics which gave redundant set of set cases. So, in in order to generate optimized set of test cases, genetic algorit...

The failure of many software systems are mainly due to the lack of the requirement engineering. Where software requirement play a very vital role in the field of software engineering. The main task of the requirement engineering are eliciting the requirements from the customer and to prioritize those requirements to make decisions in the software design. Prioritization of the software requireme...
