Test-Driven Development (TDD) is one of the test-first software production methods in which the production of each component of the code begins with writing the test case. This method has been noticed due to many advantages, including the readable, regular and short code, as well as increasing the quality, productivity and reliability, and the possibility of regression testing due to the creation of a comprehensive set of unit tests. The large number of unit test cases produced in this method is considered as a strong point in order to increase the reliability of the code, however, the repeated execution of test cases increases the duration of the regression testing in this method.
The purpose of this article is to present an algorithm for selecting test cases to reduce the time of the regression test in TDD method. So far, various ideas have been proposed to select test cases and reduce the regression test time. Most of these ideas are based on programming language and software production methods. The idea presented in this article is based on the program difference method and the nature of the TDD method. In this method, meaningful semantic and structural connections are created between unit tests and code blocks, and the test case selection is done based on these relationships.
