Abstract
Management of test case champions includes generating a plurality of fingerprints for a plurality of test cases, wherein each of the plurality of fingerprints is associated with one of the plurality of test cases and identifies a specific code path covered by its associated test case for a System Under Test (SUT). Based on the fingerprints and based on version control information for the SUT, one or more test cases in the plurality of test cases that cover a portion of code of the SUT that has changed are identified. Based on one or more criteria and test execution results, at least one test case of the identified one or more test cases is designated as a champion test case.
