Title
A case study of the class firewall regression test selection technique on a large scale distributed software system
Abstract
Regression testing is expensive and may consume much of organizations' software development budgets. Thus, it is of interest to reduce the total time devoted to test execution by using test selection techniques. Many techniques have been proposed but few have been evalu- ated on real-world, large scale systems. In this paper we report on an empirical evaluation of using the class fire- wall regression test selection technique, in combination with scenario testing, on a large scale industrial soft- ware system using the Java byte code in the analysis. The study was performed on a large complex distributed software system in one of Sweden's largest banks. Ef- fects of using scenario testing together with regression test selection are reported. The results are that not all test cases were selected by the class firewall selection technique. Using scenario testing, where test cases are dependent, affects the number of test cases selected, as do the location and number of changes in the system.
