During the development of software project, regression test can guarantee the function that is already finished will not be affected after program revision. Since regression test is to execute existing tests repeatedly, the executing time of test cases will increases as the number of test cases increases, which implies the developer have to wait longer for the test to complete. In continuous-integration software development, longer waiting time for test execution will certainly interrupt the development process and is unfavorable to do continuous integration immediately. If we can select test cases referenced to the modified program from existing tests, we can reduce the waiting time of regression testing significantly. This thesis puts forward several practical test selection strategies which match and choose the relational operations in testing, and can help the developer to screen test cases needed automatically. We develop a tool that supports test case selection and applies these strategies for test cases screening. The developer can specify filtering condition by himself to achieve the merit of customization. We hope that by choosing test cases and executing regression test efficiently, the productivity and the quality of software can be significantly improved.
