Software testing with test case timeout threshold

A method of testing a software application, comprising:

• accessing first test case execution data, the first test case execution data describing a first plurality of trial test case executions against the software application with a trial timeout threshold;
• based at least in part on the first test case execution data, determining a timeout probability for the first plurality of trial test case executions;
• selecting a first timeout threshold based at least in part on a test case execution cost associated with the first plurality of trial test case executions and at least in part on the timeout probability for the first plurality of trial test case executions;
• and
• executing at least one test case against the software application using the first timeout threshold.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, because the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• accessing first test case execution data, the first test case execution data describing a first plurality of trial test case executions against a software application with a trial timeout threshold;
• based at least in part on the first test case execution data, determining a timeout probability for the first plurality of trial test case executions;
• selecting a first timeout threshold based at least in part on a test case execution cost associated with the first plurality of trial test case executions and at least in part on the timeout probability for the first plurality of trial test case executions;
• and
• executing at least one test case against the software application using the first timeout threshold.
