Abstract

Testing is one of the most critical and time consuming phase in development of a software and when it comes to regression testing in which compatibility is checked of the previous code with the updated one. It definitely increases the size of test case and budget so, to decrease the number of test cases in regression testing this paper presents a QBGA (Queen Bee Genetic Algorithm) technique for test case reduction and also increases the coveragence that would makes a software more efficient. When it is in contrast with the existing GA algorithm, the number of test cases is found to be reduced and covered area is enhanced and results are found to be better.
