Test case prioritization (TCP) is a software testing technique that finds an ideal ordering of test cases for regression testing, so that testers can obtain the maximum benefit of their test suite, even if the testing process is stop at some arbitrary point. The recent trend of software development uses OO paradigm. This paper proposed a cost-cognizant TCP approach for object-oriented software that uses path-based integration testing. Path-based integration testing will identify the possible execution path and extract these paths from the Java System Dependence Graph (JSDG) model of the source code using forward slicing technique. Afterward evolutionary algorithm (EA) was employed to prioritize test cases based on the severity detection per unit cost for each of the dependent faults. The proposed technique was known as Evolutionary Cost-Cognizant Regression Test Case Prioritization (ECRTP) and being implemented as regression testing approach for experiment.

We propose a test case prioritization strategy for risk based testing, in which the risk exposure is employed as the key criterion of evaluation. Existing approaches to risk based testing typically employ risk exposure values as assessed by the tester. In contrast, we employ exposure values that have been determined by experts during the risk assessment stage of the risk management process. If a given method produces greater accuracy in fault detection, that approach is considered more valuable for software testing. We demonstrate the value of our proposed risk based testing method in this sense through its application.
