Date of Publication :19th July 2019

Abstract: In Modern era, thousands of software are released during every month. Testing and validation of software is an important activity which enhances the quality of software under test. Software testing is very expensive activity in the software development life cycle and is used to evaluate the quality of the software. Regression testing is an activity which ensures that changes to the existing software has not affected the normal functioning of software. This paper presents a review on regression testing tools used in test case suite reduction techniques and describes their strengths and weaknesses. We analyses and categorizes current reduction tools used by research community and identifying future research opportunities in this field.
