Abstract
Test case priorities are automatically determined based on the execution path of a software application that includes priority tags. By embedding the priority tags in the source code of the software application, the consistency and reliability of the test case priorities is improved compared to conventional, primarily manual approaches to determining test case priorities. Further, efficiency is increased by providing run-time feedback regarding test cases that facilitates identification of the highest priority test cases and corresponding test suite optimizations.
