Implementing Ant Colony Optimization for Test Case Selection and Prioritization
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Regression Testing is an inevitable and a very costly activity to be performed, often in a time and resource constrained environment. Thus we use techniques like Test Case Selection and Prioritization, to select and prioritize a subset from the complete test suite, fulfilling some chosen criteria. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a technique based on the real life behavior of ants. This paper presents an implementation of an already introduced Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Test Case Selection and Prioritization. Graph representation and example runs explained in the paper show how the random nature of ACO helps to explore the possible paths and choose the optimal from them. Results show that ACO leads to solutions that are in close proximity with optimal solutions.
