Comparison between Multi-objective Test Case PrioritizationTechniques

Software testing is considered one of the most important stages in the software development life cycle aiming to detect all software faults including different methods and approaches such as regression test method. When newalterations or features are added to software, the regression test examine the system to ensure that no software operation has been affected by new modification. Test case prioritization is an approach for organizing test cases with a means to minimize time consumption, cost, and efforts, and to provide faster fault detection. Multiple criteria-based prioritization techniques have the potential of the better improvement and enhancement of the effects of regression test than other techniques applying single criteria. In the present study, an overview of regression test and prioritization will be presented along with an introduction to multi-objective techniques used in prioritizing. Furthermore, a comparison will be made between single- and multiple-criteria-based prioritization methods
