  • PATTERN BASED TEST PRIORITIZATION USING WEIGHT FACTORS
    Publication number: 20130013244
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a pattern-based test prioritization system. Individual patterns are defined and are assigned a weight. The patterns represent the relative importance of particular test variation states. A collection of potential test variations is evaluated against the patterns, and a prioritized test variation order is produced. This prioritized test variation order can then be processed to ascertain a subset of prioritized test variations to undergo testing.
