Test case prioritization techniques for software product line: A survey

摘要

Software product line (SPL) testing is a tougher work than testing of single systems. Still testing of each individual SPL product would be perfect but it is too costly in practice. In fact, when the number of features increases then the number of possible products also increases exponentially usually derived from a feature model. Number of features is leading to thousands of different products. Due to cost and time constraints, it is infeasible or large number of effort to run all the test cases in an existing test suite. To decrease the cost of testing, various techniques have been proposed. One of them is test case prioritization (TCP) techniques. Here we presented a survey for TCP techniques for software SPL.
