US Patent 11947448 Test case reduction for code regression testing

In at least one embodiment, a system performs regression testing of software using selected test cases. In at least one embodiment, the system selects the test case for regression testing based on whether the test case correlates with modified code. In at least one embodiment, a test case correlates with the modified code if the test case tests all or a proper subset of the modified code. In at least one embodiment, if a test case does not test any of the modified code, then the test case is not used in the regression testing of the modified code.
