Abstract
Test development is an expensive technique. Test suite saving for the software application by which test cases from the suite can be used for the software maintenance. We propose to develop Specification Analyzer that accepts specification like statement coverage, code coverage for the generation of efficient test cases from test suite. The Specification Analyzer compares the information about the techniques like Precision, Efficiency, Inclusiveness and Generality. The Fault detection capability tool provides the minimized size of test suite which satisfies the above criteria. By reducing the test suite size, we can reduce the execution cost and time, validation and management of the test cases from the suite for future releases of the software and able to maintain the fault detection capability by reusing the refined test cases. The prioritization method will increase time-effectiveness in detecting the faults. An improved rate of fault detection can provide faster feedback of the system under test.
