Abstract

Inadequate regression test case design after software changes often leads to poor effectiveness. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel design method based on the association-mode. Through analyzing the relationship between the software testing requirements, test items, test cases, software failures and software changes, the Influence domain analysis of software changes is completed by using these association-mode. This paper implements the filtering and the aiding design of the regression test cases, and developed a test case aiding design tool by considering the relationship of the testing requirements and the priority of the test cases. Test cases from practical projects show that this method can effectively detect the failures. This regression test cases aided design method can help the testers to design regression test cases effectively and avoid the problems of poor effectiveness as a result of the inadequate regression test case design.
