摘要：Test case prioritization is an efficient and realistic technique for regression testing. It is helpful in enhancing the effectiveness of regression testing by categorizing and executing test cases according to their significance. Regression testing is applied to modified software to ensure that the modified parts behave as desired and the unmodified parts have not been negatively affected. A test suite shall be reused in regression testing which may have recurring and redundant test cases. In order to reduce the cost of maintaining the test suite and implementing the test cases in regression testing, we prioritize those test cases that can test & track partial changes. In this paper, we implement a technique for test case prioritization in which test cases can be prioritized on the basis of static function call path. According to the Zhang Zhi-hua's algorithm, we can find a change point with the minimum set of changes in function for regression testing, and show it with the help of an example. The result shows that, the algorithms can significantly reduce the size and the cost of the test suite for regression testing, and achieves good cost effectiveness
