Query: ComReg: A Complex Network Approach to Prioritize Test Cases for
  Regression Testing   Regression testing is performed to provide confidence that changes in a part
of software do not affect other parts of the software. An execution of all
existing test cases is the best way to re-establish this confidence. However,
regression testing is an expensive process---there might be insufficient
resources (e.g., time, workforce) to allow for the re-execution of all test
cases. Regression test prioritization techniques attempt to re-order a
regression test suite based on some criteria so that highest priority test
cases are executed earlier.
  In this study, we want to prioritize test cases for regression testing based
on the dependency network of faults. In software testing, it is common that
some faults are consequences of other faults (leading faults). Moreover,
dependent faults can be removed if and only if the leading faults have been
removed. Our goal is to prioritize test cases so that test cases that exposed
leading faults (the most central faults in the fault dependency network) in the
system testing phase, are executed first in regression testing.
  We present ComReg, a test case prioritization technique based on the
dependency network of faults. We model a fault dependency network as a directed
graph and identify leading faults to prioritize test cases for regression
testing. We use a centrality aggregation technique which considers six network
representative centrality metrics to identify leading faults in the fault
dependency network. We also discuss the use of fault communities to select an
arbitrary percentage of the test cases from a prioritized regression test
suite. We conduct a case study that evaluates the effectiveness and
applicability of the proposed method.
