Abstract Software needs modifications and requires revisions regularly. Owing to these revisions, retesting software becomes essential to ensure that the enhancements made, have not affected its bug-free functioning. The time and cost incurred in this process, need to be reduced by the method of test case selection and prioritization. It is observed that many nature-inspired techniques are applied in this area. African Buffalo Optimization is one such approach, applied to regression test selection and prioritization. In this paper, the proposed work explains and proves the applicability of the African Buffalo Optimization approach to test case selection… More >

Abstract Regression testing (RT) is an essential but an expensive activity in software development. RT confirms that new faults/errors will not have occurred in the modified program. RT efficiency can be improved through an effective technique of selected only modified test cases that appropriate to the modifications within the given time frame. Earlier, several test case selection approaches have been introduced, but either these techniques were not sufficient according to the requirements of software tester experts or they are ineffective and cannot be used for available test suite specifications and architecture. To address these limitations, we… More >
