Use cases are believed to be a good basis for system testing. Yet, to automate the test
generation process, there is a large gap to bridge between high-level use cases and …

When following architecture-driven strategies to develop large software-intensive systems,
the analysis of the dependencies is not an easy task. In this paper, we report a systematic …

Detecting the dependency between integration test cases plays a vital role in the area of
software test optimization. Classifying test cases into two main classes–dependent and …

Component-based software development regards software construction in terms of
conventional engineering disciplines where the assembly of systems from readily-available …

Test case prioritization is the process of ordering the execution of test cases to achieve a
certain goal, such as increasing the rate of fault detection. Increasing the rate of fault …

Knowing about dependencies and similarities between test cases is beneficial for prioritizing
them for cost-effective test execution. This holds especially true for the time consuming …

Both in the component-and object-based contexts it is extremely important to derive as early
as possible suitable test cases based on the UML specifications available during …

Most of the software practitioners believe in Model-based test case generation. Advantages
of this are the early detection of faults, reducing software development time etc. The most …

This paper presents a natural language processing (NLP) based approach that, given
software requirements specification, allows the functional dependency detection between …

Prioritization, selection and minimization of test cases are well-known problems in software
testing. Test case prioritization deals with the problem of ordering an existing set of test …
