Abstract

In corrective software maintenance, selective regression testing includes test selection from previously-run test suites and test coverage identification. We propose three reduction-based regression test selection methods and two McCabe-based coverage identification metrics (T. McCabe, 1976). We empirically compare these methods with three other reduction- and precision-oriented methods, using 60 test problems. The comparison shows that our proposed methods yield favourable results
