History Based Multi Objective Test Suite Prioritization in Regression Testing Using Genetic Algorithm

Regression testing is the most essential and expensive testing activity which occurs throughout the software development life cycle. As Regression testing requires executions of many test cases it imposes the necessity of test case prioritization process to reduce the resource constraint. Test case prioritization technique schedule the test case in an order that increase the chance of early fault detection. In this paper we propose a genetic algorithm based prioritization technique which uses the historical information of system level test cases to prioritize test cases to detect most severe faults early. In addition the proposed approach also calculates weight factor for each requirement to achieve customer satisfaction and to improve the rate of severe fault detection. To validate the proposed approach we performed controlled experiments over industry projects which proved the proposed approach effectiveness in terms of average percentage of fault detected

Interpretive Structural Model of Key Performance Indicators for Sustainable Manufacturing Evaluation in Cement Industry

This paper aims to analyze the relationships among the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for sustainable manufacturing evaluation in the cement industry. The initial KPIs have been identified and derived from literature, and then validated by industry survey. As a result, three factors dividing into a total of thirteen indicators have been proposed as the KPIs for sustainable manufacturing evaluation in cement industry. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) methodology is applied to develop a network structure model of the KPIs. The results show the indicators of economic factor are regarded as the basic indicator, while the indicators of environmental factor are indicated to be the leading indicator. Of those indicators, raw material substitution is regarded as the most influencing indicator. The ISM model can aid the cement companies by providing a better insight in evaluating sustainable manufacturing performance
