Information associated with tests performed on an application program is captured and stored in memory. This information is then used to recommend a set of regression tests to a user for use in regression testing the application. Particularly, responsive to being notified about a change in the program code, the device analyzes the stored information and recommends a selected set of regression tests to a user based on the results of that analysis. The recommended tests enable the user to adequately regression test the program code in the application program using an optimal number of test cases.
