Abstract
A mechanism is disclosed for enabling efficient testing of a set of computer code. Untested code portions within a body of code are determined, and testing priorities are assigned to untested code portions according to how frequently the untested code portions are likely to be invoked during normal operation. More frequently invoked untested code portions are ranked higher than less frequently invoked untested code portions. The prioritized data may be used by a testing team to determine which additional tests should be created for effective and efficient testing of the body of code.
Claims16
A method for enabling a body of code to be tested efficiently, comprising:
- determining which code portions within said body of code have not been tested;
- and
- assigning testing priorities to at least some of the untested code portions.
A computer-readable medium, comprising:
- instructions for causing one or more processors to determine which code portions within a body of code have not been tested;
- and
- instructions for causing one or more processors to assign testing priorities to at least some of the untested code portions.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
