- Since only a limited time is available for performing software regression testing, a subset of crucial test cases from the test suites has to be selected for execution. In this paper, we introduce a method that uses the relation between types of code changes and regression tests to select test types that require execution. We work closely with a large power supply company to develop and evaluate the method and measure the total regression testing time taken by our method and its effectiveness in selecting the most relevant test types.
