Comparative study of test suite filtering techniques

Testing is necessary for software to know the quality and performance of the system. Testing phase initially starts from the generation of test cases. There are many ways to generate test cases but the critical task is to identify valid test cases at maintenance phase. Existing approach uses TestFilter method to reduce the size of test cases by satisfying the constraint. In this paper, TestFilter technique is compared with bee colony algorithm (BCO). Experimental study is conducted for both the technique. The comparative study shows that both the techniques reduce the test case effectively as well as the time and cost.
