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.

Abstract

Agile Project Management tools form the backbone of mature software development projects. There are various tools that companies are using to support their agile processes for project management and bug tracking. Whenever an organization starts the software development, they look out for a good tool to manage their agile processes. Agile Project management tools have overtaken the manual tools (physical cards, task boards, charts etc.) in almost all the companies. Nowadays, there are a number of web-based tools available. The purpose of this paper is to study and compare the popular APM tools which are currently being used to support agile processes. In addition, to analyze them on the basis of their functionality, common characteristics, distinguishing features and pros and cons of each tool, in order to find out which one is most complete and better to help agile teams in project management process.
