dc.description.abstractIn software testing domain, different techniques and approaches are used to support the process of regression testing in an effective way. The main approaches include test case minimization, test case selection, and test case prioritization. Test case prioritization techniques improve the performance of regression testing by arranging test cases in such a way that maximize fault detection could be achieved in a shorter time. However, the problems for web testing are the timing for executing test cases and the number of fault detected. The aim of this study is to increase the effectiveness of test case prioritization by proposing an approach that could detect faults earlier at a shorter execution time. This research proposed an approach comprising two models: Hybrid Static Criteria Model (HSCM) and Dynamic Weighting Static Criteria Model (DWSCM). Each model applied three criteria: most common HTTP requests in pages, length of HTTP request chains, and dependency of HTTP requests. These criteria are used to prioritize test cases for web application regression testing. The proposed HSCM utilized clustering technique to group test cases. A hybridized technique was proposed to prioritize test cases by relying on assigned test case priorities from the combination of aforementioned criteria. A dynamic weighting scheme of criteria for prioritizing test cases was used to increase fault detection rate. The findings revealed that, the models comprising enhanced of Average Percentage Fault Detection (APFD), yielded the highest APFD of 98% in DWSCM and 87% in HSCM, which have led to improve effectiveness prioritization models. The findings confirmed the ability of the proposed techniques in improving web application regression testing.
