文摘In order to improve the efficiency of regression testing in web application,the control flow graph and the greedy algorithm are adopted.This paper considers a web page as a basic unit and introduces a test case selection method for web application regression testing based on the control flow graph.This method is safe enough to the test case selection.On the base of features of request sequence in web application,the minimization technique and the priority of test cases are taken into consideration in the process of execution of test cases in regression testing for web application.The improved greedy algorithm is also raised resulting in optimization of execution of test cases.The experiments indicate that the number of test cases which need to be retested is reduced,and the efficiency of execution of test cases is also improved.
