Abstract
A method and system for asynchronous code testing. Test cases are generated from an input code that includes code blocks organized in a hierarchy of nesting levels characterized by respective nesting level numbers that increase with increasing separation of each respective nesting level from a reference level of the total input code. Each test case includes a respective launching priority that quantifies how strongly each test case is associated with at least one modified code block of the input code. Generating the test cases determines the respective launching priority for each test case by (i) determining an association strength of each modified code block as measured by the nesting level in the hierarchy of each modified code block and (ii) computing the launching priority as a sum of the association strengths of the modified code blocks. The test cases are run to produce a test result which is displayed.
