Abstract

In one embodiment, a method determines a plurality of test cases to test an application and a set of attributes assigned to each test case in the plurality of test cases. The method then calculates a test case risk score for each test case in the plurality of test cases based on the set of attributes associated with each respective test case. The test case risk score quantifies a risk in not executing each respective test case. A subset of the plurality of test cases is selected based on at least a portion of the calculated risk scores. The subset of plurality of test cases is output along with a test plan risk score that quantifies the risk in not executing test cases not included in the plurality of test cases.
