Test case prioritization based on MCCM complexity for event sequence test cases

Complexity can affect the error proneness of software systems. This issue has led researchers to conclude that complex areas of code should receive more attention during the testing phase and sought out using complexity metrics in Test Case Prioritization (TCP). TCP is used to schedule the execution...

This issue has led researchers to conclude that complex areas of code should receive more attention during the testing phase and sought out using complexity metrics in Test Case Prioritization (TCP).
