We present a comprehensive experimental comparison of several test prioritization techniques, including wellestablished white-box strategies and more recently introduced black-box approaches. We found that Combinatorial Interaction Testing and diversity-based techniques (Input Model Diversity and Input Test Set Diameter) perform best among the black-box approaches. Perhaps surprisingly, we found little difference between black-box and white-box performance (at most 4% fault detection rate difference). We also found the overlap between black-and white-box faults to be high: the first 10% of the prioritized test suites already agree on at least 60% of the faults found. These are positive findings for practicing regression testers who may not have source code available, thereby making white-box techniques inapplicable. We also found evidence that both black-box and white-box prioritization remain robust over multiple system releases.","2016-05","published","Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)",,"http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2884781.2884791",,"",,"",,"green","other",,,,,,,"eng",,,"open","open_green",,,,,"verified_manual",,"1135090","10.1145/2884781.2884791","9781450339001",,,,,,,,,,"Harman","Mark","","","MHARM36","Jia","Yue","","","YJIAX90","owner","public",,,"International Conference on Software Engineering","Proceedings - International Conference on Software Engineering","38",,,"New York","523-534",,"ICSE '16: 38th International Conference on Software Engineering, 14-22 May 2016, Austin, Texas, USA",,,,,,,,,,,"0270-5257","ICSE '16: Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Software Engineering",,"Dillon","L","","","","","",,"","",,,,,,,"",,,,
