Evaluation of software product line test case prioritization technique

Software product line (SPL) engineering paradigm is commonly used to handle commonalities and variabilities of business applications to satisfy the specific needs or goal of a particular market. However, due to time and space complexities, testing all products is not feasible, and SPL testing is pro...
