Abstract

See full text

A method for selecting a set of test cases which may be used to test a software program product is disclosed. The program to be tested may have a number of code blocks that may be exercised during execution of the program. The method includes identifying each of the code blocks that may be exercised, and determining a time for executing each of the test cases in the set. A set of the test cases is then selected that exercises a maximum number of the identified code blocks that can be exercised in a minimum time. The selection step may be performed by executing a genetic algorithm for determining which subset of test cases to use, using a combination of time and coverage as a fitness value.
