Test Exude: Approach for Test Case Reduction

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 3

Abstract

 Abstract : Software development is a planned and structured process includes research, new development, modification, re-engineering results in software products. The structure of development of software is SDLC. It contains various process and activities to accomplish the task of the software product. In SDLC, testing is the most expensive phase. It is used to validate the software with all possible combinations. Exhaustive testing is impossible task in software testing, as, it is impractical with large software products. Now, automation is applied to generate the test cases for various applications, but the selection and reduction of test cases by automation is the main problem. This target only be achieved, when test cases is contained in large test suites. The technique we propose for test case reduction, called TestExude. It is a technique which gives test cases needed and discard other test cases from the Test Suite. It reduces the redundant test cases and its corresponding elements. This technique works on frequency of test cases in test suite and accepts largest frequency occurred in test suites and discard test cases on the base of frequency selected. Storage is well managed in this technique by reducing the test cases drastically in test suite. Test Suites size, user time, organization cost, storage cost are reduce efficiently. Ultimately, it improves and generate effective test case. This technique is more advantageous than any other techniques as it reduces the cost and time to its minimum extent.
