Abstract

This research uses an exclusive technique to reduce the regression tests size. Exclusive technique means that a large number of tests will be excluded and leave a relatively small but safe test set. Decomposition slicing is used to empirically investigate whether it can reduce regression tests by an exclusive technique. Decomposition slicing provides a technique to identify the unchanged parts of the system. An exclusive technique will be analysed using an existing analysing framework to compare with its counterpart, the inclusive technique. This research expects to propose a new safe regression test selection by an exclusion technique using decomposition slicing.
