Abstract

The majority of formal description for software testing in the industry is conducted at the system or acceptance level, however most formal research has been focused on the unit level. This paper propose formal test selection criteria for system or integration test based on visualization analysis for low level test cases. Visual analysis for low level test case selection is to be based on inputs from available Test Management system. Presented analysis criteria shows a subset of test metrics which has been used in pilot projects in the industry as a base for testware reorganization.
