REDUCING A TEST SUITE FOR RE-TESTING CONFIGURED INSTANCES IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system configuration is validated in a production environment using test cases selected from a test suite, which has validated a first configuration of the system in a development environment. In response to a change in environments, a reduced set of requirements is formed by removing one or more requirements from a set of requirements against which the first configuration is validated. The removed requirements include environment agnostic requirements. The removing is based on at least a classification of configuration parameters, and a first relation between the requirements and the configuration parameters. A reduced test suite is formed by selecting, from the test suite, the test cases that test the system against the reduced set of requirements. The reduced test suite is applied to a second configuration of the system to validate that the system operates in compliance with the set of requirements in the production environment.
