Abstract
A computer identifies lines of code of a product program that have been modified after an initial test of the product program. The computer determines the overlap between lines of code that have been modified and a mapped test case. The computer determines a weighted value for the mapped test case based on two or more of, an environment of the test case, the degree of the overlap, a time the test case was last executed, a time the test case takes to execute, and a priority of a defect. The environment of the test case is configured to replicate a working environment where the product program is to be deployed and includes an operating system, a hardware configuration, and the configuration of the operating system.
