Foundations of Software Testing: Fundamental Algorithms and Techniques

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTES

differencing information is used for test

selection. Vokolos and Frankl report a tool

for regression testing that uses textual

differencing [494]. They also report a case

study, performed using Pythia, to

investigate the reduction in the number of

test cases [493, 495]. Srivastava and

Thiagarajan report an industrial-strength

tool for test prioritization [456]. This tool is

used on large-scale software projects at

Microsoft. Its novelty lies in the use of

binary-to-binary code matching to identify

differences in the original and the modified

program.

Rothermel and Soffa’s technique for

finding differences between two programs

is implemented in DeJavu [425]. Ren et al.

have reported Chianti, a tool to perform

change–impact analysis of Java pr ...
