Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide for the correlation of violating change sets during regression testing of a computer program. A method of the invention includes annotating a test case with a reference to logical operations of different programmatic objects of a computer program. Thereafter, change sets are applied to the program and the test case is executed by a development environment such as a debugger to a point of failure. It is then determined from the annotations change sets related to the logical operations and different ones of the determined change sets are sequentially replaced and the test case repeatedly re-executed. As such, the ones of the replaced change sets resulting in failure from re-execution of the test case are determined to be violating change sets.
