Enhancing state-sensitivity partitioning technique by using prioritization approach

Software Testing is one of the activities in Software Quality Assurance to indicate the successfulness of a project. In dynamic software testing, greybox testing has been suggested to consider both white-box (structure-based testing) and black-box specification-based testing). State-Sensitivit...
