A Hybrid Approach of Regression-Testing-Based Requirement Prioritization of Web Applications

Abstract

The chapter gives a hybrid approach for prioritization of software requirements by considering regression testing efforts as one of the criteria. The prioritization is performed against the prioritized decision aspects. The chapter gives software engineers a technique for prioritizing both requirements and aspects. This technique considers regression testing effort as one of important parameters during requirement prioritization thereby reducing the regression testing effort. This technique is applied on live web application of “virtual classroom” and the results were promising. The technique resulted in decision aspect prioritization thereby leading to effective requirement prioritization and lower regression testing efforts.
