Abstract:
A solution is proposed for analyzing a test of a software program comprising a plurality of software components, the test comprising a plurality of test cases each one for exercising a set of corresponding exercised software components. A corresponding method comprises the steps of receiving an indication of each failed test case whose current execution has failed, retrieving a suspicion attribute of each failed test case indicative of a change to the corresponding exercised software components since a previous execution of the failed test case, retrieving a change attribute of each failed test case indicative of a change to the failed test case since the previous execution thereof, retrieving a regression attribute of each failed test case indicative of a regression of the failed test case since the previous execution thereof, and classifying each failed test case into a plurality of disjoint classes according to the corresponding suspicion attribute, change attribute and regression attribute.
