Problems solved by technology

Based on the 1999 paper, Elbaum et al. made some improvements. First, relative to the statement and branch coverage granularity, the coarse-grained function coverage was increased, and it was confirmed that the coarse-grained sorting method can reduce program overhead, but it will also reduce the sorting effect.

[0081] In step 3.2, set the combination coverage dimension, and calculate the evaluation value of each test case according to the set dimension. Taking the function coverage granularity as an example, for the program P to be tested, suppose there are m function units MC{mc 1 ,mc 2 ,mc 3 ,...mc m}, the coverage granularity has only two states, mc i ={0,1}(0≤i≤m), there is a test case set T{t of length n 1 ,t 2 ,t 3 ,...t n}, there exists a sorted case set ST{st of length s 1 ,st 2 ,st 3 ,...st s}, there is a test case set CT{ct of length c to be sorted 1 ,ct 2 ,ct 3 ,...dt c}, then for each use case, set the dimension as t, there exists Covering combinations, since each unit may take a value of 1 (covered) or 0 (not covered), so each combination has 2 t possible values, then for the test case ct to be selected i , whose evaluation value is d(ct i ,S)=CombSet(ct i )∪CombSet(ST), where CombSet(ct i ) represents the test case ct in dimension t i Combination c...

Abstract

The invention discloses a code and combination coverage-based test case priority ranking method and a test system, and the method comprises the steps: 1, carrying out a regression test, and obtainingthe dynamic code coverage information of a test case set running on an original program set in version iteration; 2, sequencing the use case set by using the dynamic code coverage information, namelysequencing the coverage information of the granularity and the combination condition of each unit in the granularity based on the use case set; 3, running the test case set on an error version, comparing a running result with a result on a basic version program set, and generating a case set error detection matrix; and 4, calculating a use case sequence effective value by using the sorted use caseset and the error detection matrix, and comparing the use case sequence effective value with other classic sorting strategies for evaluation. According to the method, aiming at the limitation of theexisting sorting algorithm, the combination coverage information of each statement unit is considered, and the statement units are fused and associated, so that richer sorting information is obtained,and the error detection efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of software testing, and relates to a test case prioritization method and a testing system based on code and combination coverage. Background technique [0002] From the software development life cycle, we can find that software engineering is not only software development and programming language, software testing occupies a large part, especially in software iterative regression testing, in fact, regression testing is an effective method , which can ensure partial modification of the code and cause some errors in the tested program, and the data shows that regression testing generally occupies about 80% of the software testing budget and half of the entire software maintenance budget. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of regression testing, the industry and academia have proposed a series of technologies based on test maintenance, including test case sorting TCP (Test Case Prioritization), test case selection T...
