Abstract
In software development, risks can be quantified and defined by certain attributes. For instance, a risky area will have a large number of defects/changes for that area, a large number of high severity defects for that area, or a large number of coders/authors for that same area. All these metrics are already captured in Unified Change Management tools, version control tools and bug tracking tools. By taking the appropriate data and associating them with certain triggers and thresholds, an embodiment of the invention automatically identifies which test cases to run for regression. Through historical and previous test data and test runs, an embodiment of the invention forecasts how long it will take to run these regression suites.
