An Adaptive Approach for Test Case Prioritization in Regression Testing Using Improved Genetic Algorithm

Test case prioritization technique is used to prioritize and schedule test cases. The technique is developed in order to run test cases of higher priority in order to minimize time, cost and effort during software testing phase. Prioritizing test cases can be done on the basis of requirements, cost of bug fixing, history of the parent device etc. In this paper we have proposed the hybrid technique. This hybrid technique is a combination of adaptive approach and genetic algorithm. The speedup is achieved by using an adaptive approach which schedules the test cases simultaneously during the execution of test cases.
