Abstract :
To improve the effectiveness of certain performance goals, test case prioritization techniques are used. These technique schedule the test cases in particular order for execution so as to increase the efficacy in meeting the performance goals. For every change in the program it is considered inefficient to re-execute each and every test case. Test case prioritization techniques arrange the test cases within a test suite in such a way that the most important test case is executed first. This process enhances the effectiveness of testing. This algorithm during time constraint execution has been shown to have detected maximum number fault while including the sever test cases.
