Test Case Minimization and Prioritization Using CMIMX Technique

Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for execution in an order that attempts to increase their effectiveness at meeting some performance goal. Various goals are possible; one involves rate of fault detection i.e. the measure of how quickly faults are detected within the testing process. To improve the performance of regression testing two objectives to be achieved. I.e. test case minimization and test case prioritization. In this paper both the processes are considered along with special care has given to the data dependencies within the source code. So, path coverage is taken, which proves better option than the previous methods adopted.
