A NOVEL APPROACH TO TEST SUITE REDUCTION USING DATA MINING

Journal Title: Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

Software testing is the most important and time consuming part of software development lifecycle. The time spent in testing is mainly concerned with generating the test cases and testing them. Our goal is to reduce the time spent in testing by reducing the number of test cases. For this we have incorporated data mining techniques to reduce the number of test cases. Data mining finds similar patterns in test cases which helped us in finding out redundancy incorporated by automatic generated test cases. We proposed a methodology based on clustering by which we can significantly reduce the test suite. The final test suite is tested for coverage which yielded good results.
