A Review of multi-objective test case prioritization techniques

Software testing is considered one of the most important stages in the software development life cycle aiming todetect all software faults including different methods and approaches such as regression test method. When newalterations or features are added to software, the regression test examine the system to ensure that no software operationhas been affected by new modification. Test case prioritization is an approach for organizing test cases with a means tominimize time consumption, cost, and efforts, and to provide faster fault detection. Multiple criteria-based prioritizationtechniques have the potential of the better improvement and enhancement of the effects of regression test than othertechniques applying single criteria. In the present study, an overview of regression test and prioritization will bepresented along with an introduction to multi-objective techniques used in prioritizing. Furthermore, a comparison willbe made between single- and multiple-criteria-based prioritization methods.
