Late Acceptance Hill Climbing Based Strategy for Test Redundancy Reduction and Prioritization

Software testing relates to the process of accessing the functionality of a program. To ensure conformance, test engineers often generate a set of test cases to validate against the user requirements. When dealing with large line of codes (LOCs), there are potentially issues of redundancy as new t...

To address redundancy issues, many useful strategies (e.g. HGS, GE, and GRE) have been developed in the literature.
