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.
