Scalable Approaches for Test Suite Reduction
May 2019 • Emilio Cruciani, Breno Miranda, Roberto Verdecchia, Antonia Bertolino
Test suite reduction approaches aim at decreasing software regression testing costs by selecting a representative subset from large-size test suites. Most existing techniques are too expensive for handling modern massive systems and moreover depend on artifacts, such as code coverage metrics or specification models, that are not commonly available at large scale. We present a family of novel very efficient approaches for similaritybased test suite reduction that apply algorithms borrowed from the big data domain t…
