"Time-Aware Test Suite Prioritization" presented at I.S.S.T.A.

Associate Professor Robert S. Roos, Kristen Walcott (Class of 2005), Mary Lou Soffa (University of Virginia), and Instructor Gregory M. Kapfhammer published the paper "Time-Aware Test Suite Prioritization" at the ACM International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA) in July 2006.

This paper presents a technique that uses a genetic algorithm to reorder test suites in light of testing time constraints. This research was also the focus of Mary Lou Soffa's recent presentation "Exploring Time-Aware Test Suite Prioritization" at Microsoft Research China in June 2006.
