A Relative Exploration on Test Cash Reduction Techniques

Cost effective test strategies are necessary to provide reliable, secure, and usable applications. During software maintenance, as test suites grow larger during software evolution the test cases should exactly reflect the usage to uncover faults that are easily encountered the users. It turns into difficult to execute all the test cases in convinced time period. In order to reduce the size of test suites, test suite reduction techniques with respect to some coverage criteria are used. Test suite reduction techniques are critical to the cost effectiveness because a main concern is the cost of collecting, analyzing, and re executing the huge number of test cases created from user data. We performed a logical study on the test case reduction techniques and provided a comparative analysis. Our study investigates both the benefits and the costs of test-suite reduction.
