Problems solved by technology

[0006] Unfortunately, test selection can lead to an impact on bug discovery, and software practitioners are often skeptical of any scheme that recommends not running all existing tests
Nevertheless, test selection may still be required as there may not be sufficient resources to execute the entire test suite

Abstract

Method, apparatus and product for test selection based on domination criterion. In some embodiments, excluding from a test suite dominated tests, each of which is dominated by a predetermined number of dominating tests, wherein a dominated test is dominated by a dominating test if each target that is covered by the dominated test is also covered by the dominating test. In some embodiments, a reduced test suite is determined by excluding from a test suite each test that covers a dominated set of targets that is N-dominated by the reduced test suite, wherein a dominated set of targets is N-dominated by a set of tests if each target in the dominated set of targets is covered by at least N tests in the set of tests, wherein N is a predetermined number greater than one.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to testing and, more specifically, to test selection. Background technique [0002] Computerized devices control nearly every aspect of our lives—from writing documents to controlling traffic lights. However, computerized devices are prone to errors and thus require a testing phase where bugs are supposed to be caught. In designing computerized devices, the testing phase is considered as one of the most difficult tasks. The cost of not being able to detect errors can be enormous, as the consequences of errors can be catastrophic. For example, an error could result in injury to a person relying on the specified actions of a computerized device. Furthermore, bug fixes in hardware or firmware can be expensive, since patching bugs requires recalling computerized equipment. Consequently, many computerized device developers spend most of their development cycles discovering erroneous behavior of computerized devic...
