Problems solved by technology

The redundant test cases in the test case set must be deleted. This is done to ensure the efficiency of software testing and development benefits. However, redundant test cases cannot be deleted blindly, because some redundant test cases will affect the reduction. Post-use case set error detection capability

Embodiment

[0020] Through the program slicing algorithm of inter-procedural function calls, an intra-procedural slicing algorithm is given on the basis of the slicing algorithm. Based on the above-mentioned program slicing algorithm and GRE algorithm, this embodiment proposes a test case set reduction method. The test case set reduction method is recorded as the GRE-R-T algorithm. The GRE-R-T algorithm combines the test requirement reduction and the test case set reduction. Combining, generating a test case set corresponding to the statement in the slice, and finally reducing the test case set according to the GRE-R-T method.

[0021] attached figure 1 The flow chart of the slice algorithm based on the function call program, as attached figure 1 As shown, the program slicing algorithm mainly includes the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: Add the key points of the slice to be obtained into the node set N, and add the variables corresponding to the key points into the variable set V; acc...

Abstract

The invention discloses a test case set reduction method based on a program slice, and relates to the field of software testing. The test case set reduction method is based on a program slice algorithm and a GRE algorithm and is recorded as a GRE-R-T algorithm. Test requirement reduction and test case set reduction are combined. Firstly, test requirements are subjected to slice calculation, an obtained slice and a program associated with the test requirements are combined to generate a test case set corresponding to statements in the slice, and finally, the test case set is subjected to reduction according to the GRE-R-T method. Compared with a traditional algorithm, the GRE-R-T algorithm is characterized in that the test case set is effectively subjected to the reduction, an amount of detected bugs is not lowered, and test time and workloads are greatly saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of software testing, in particular to a method for reducing test case sets based on program slicing. Background technique [0002] Software testing is an important means to ensure software quality and reliability. In the software development process, due to the continuous modification and improvement of each module, the continuous addition and integration of each module, and the final verification of the reliability and effectiveness of the entire system, frequent regression testing is required. During this process, the test case set The number will be larger and larger, and the redundant test cases will be more and more. In order to improve the efficiency of software testing and reduce the cost of testing, it is necessary to reduce the test case set. [0003] In the actual software development process, because the test cases are generated in stages or newly generated due to the continuous change of the software ver...
