Abstract:
Software regression testing requires an existing program to be retested against some test cases as a result of code modification. The result needs to be analyzed to identify which parts of the code have been affected by the test cases. In this paper, we present a reconnaissance approach to support regression testing for C++. Software reconnaissance was originally inspired by industrial maintainers about the need for better ways of locating software features in large systems. This paper presents our experience in using software reconnaissance techniques with the help of a tool package we developed and applied it to an embedded software project, called the OBA system. The work observes the ability to identify the impacted components of test scenarios that can lead to a better change impact estimation, design decision and program comprehension.
