Embodiment Construction

[0032] Take the test case prioritization of the source program of Scribe-java as an example, combined with the attached figure 1 The specific implementation of a method for prioritizing regression test cases based on a graphical model proposed by the invention is described.

[0033] (1) Test case coverage information collection, for the program to be tested, use the designed test case set for testing. The source program of Scribe-java has 849 statements, and 51 test cases are used for testing. The test case set is represented by Ω, Ω={T 1 , T 2 ,...,T 51}, where T i For the i-th test case in the test case set, use the code coverage collection tool to collect code coverage information, and obtain the statement coverage matrix A 51×849 , A ij = 1 means that the i-th test case covers the j-th statement, A ij = 0 means that the i-th test case does not cover the j-th statement;

[0034] (2) Use J dist Calculate the similarity between test cases, calculate the similarity betw...

Abstract

The invention relates to a graph-based regression test case priority ranking method, and belongs to the field of software testing. The method comprises: firstly, collecting test cases and statement execution information during running, and constructing a statement coverage matrix; secondly, calculating the distance between paired case coverage sets through a Jaccard distance function, and constructing a dissimilarity matrix between test cases; then, encoding the test cases, and constructing a graph according to the code coverage information and the test case dissimilarity matrix; and finally,taking the case with the largest statement coverage in the test cases as an initial vertex, traversing the graph through a graph traversal algorithm based on test case search, and generating a test case priority sorting sequence based on the graph. According to the method, the problems of overlong execution time, poor result stability and the like of the existing regression test case priority ranking method are solved, and the test efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of software testing, especially in the technical field of regression testing. It is used for prioritization of test cases, mainly solves the problem of low efficiency in prioritization of test cases, and achieves the purpose of reducing test costs. It is a test case optimization method. method. Background technique [0002] Software testing is the process of using manual or automatic means to run or measure a system, aiming at checking whether the specified requirements are met. As an important part of the software development process, software testing runs through the entire software life cycle. It is a very important and complex work in the software life cycle, and it is of great significance to software reliability assurance. Corrective maintenance, adaptive maintenance, and complete maintenance of software will all cause software changes, and more defects may be generated due to the modification of the...
