Abstract

In order to reduce the cost of regression testing, researchers have proposed the use of test-suite reduction techniques which aim to reduce the size of a test suite with respect to some criteria. Emerging trends in software development such as complexity of software being developed and increasing use of commercial off-the-shelf components present new challenges for existing test suite reduction techniques. The paper presents results of a new experimental evaluation together with a brief description of our test suite reduction method presented in earlier papers which is not affected by these challenges. The results suggest that the method has a good potential for the use for test suites reduction for software integration testing.
