Test case prioritization approach for sequence of events using complexity factor

Test case prioritization (TCP) is a method to prioritize and schedule test cases. The technique is developed in order to run test cases of higher priority for minimizing the time, cost and effort during software testing phase. Complexity is one of the factors that affect the effectiveness of the TCP...
