Abstract
A method to optimize software testing is disclosed. The method includes generating a set of software testcases for testing a software product, creating a testcase coverage matrix comprising testcase identifiers corresponding to the set of testcases and source code line identifiers corresponding to the lines of source code tested thereby, selecting all testcases that uniquely test a line of source code, marking all source code line identifiers covered by the selected testcases, prioritize the testcases of testcase identifiers associated with unmarked source code identifiers, and selecting one or more testcases of testcase identifiers that corresponds to each unmarked source code identifier to determine an optimal set of testcases for software testing.
