Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product automates regression testing based on cyclomatic complexity of changed code. A base code change to a software program is identified as having a particular cyclomatic complexity. Multiple different software test routines are mapped to the base code change. A specific quantity of the different software test routines are then run to test the base code change, where the quantity of test routines that is run is based on the cyclomatic complexity of the base code change.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A processor-implemented method of automating regression testing, the processor-implemented method comprising: identifying, by a processor, a base code change in a software program; receiving, by the processor, a string of binary data that represents a cyclomatic complexity of the base code change, wherein the cyclomatic complexity of the base code change is defined by a formula: M=E−N+P where E=a quantity number of edges in a graph of the base code chang…
