Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and system for optimizing a test suite comprising plurality of test cases. In an embodiment, the pluralities of test cases are received from data sources. The method identifies one or more redundant and non-redundant test cases among the plurality of test cases in the test suite and computes similarity percentage between each of the non-redundant test cases by comparing test description and steps of each non-redundant test case with test description and steps of other non-redundant test cases. The non-redundant test cases are grouped into clusters based on the similarity percentage. Further, the method identifies test functions in each of the clusters for determining reusable test functions. Upon identifying the reusable test functions, test cases in each of the clusters are reconstructed by replacing each of the test cases with the reusable test function references thereby optimizing the test suite.
