Abstract

The disclosed system and method for software testing provide a strategy for testing new software functionalities in a sequence that detects defects according to a testing strategy designed to accomplish a predetermined objective. Providing a pre-testing stage generates test execution results for test cases designed to find defects related to new functionalities. Using machine learning clustering techniques to identify which test cases are similar to one another facilitates organizing test cases in a sequence appropriate for accomplishing a predetermined objective.
