Abstract
The disclosed method may include (1) identifying a software update that includes at least one software function that has changed since a previous software update, (2) determining, based at least in part on the software update, one or more call paths that include (A) the software function that has changed since the previous software update and (B) at least one additional software function, (3) mapping the changed software function to one or more test scripts, (4) mapping the additional software function to one or more additional test scripts, (5) identifying at least one test script that is commonly mapped to both the changed software function and the additional software function, and then (6) performing a regression test by executing the test script that is mapped to both the changed software function and the additional software function. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
