The rate of fault detection is one of the prime goals that we tend to achieve while doing prioritization. Test cases should run in an order to increase the possibility of fault detection and it should be achieved early during the test life cycle. To reduce the cost and time of regression testing, test case prioritization should be done with the intention of periodically modifying the test suite. The humongous set of test cases makes it redundant and cumbersome for the testers who ensure quality for an end application. The fault detection capability of a prioritized test suite is improved up to 15 using Modified PSO which forms the base algorithms for prioritization. The algorithm illustrated detects serious errors at earlier phases of testing process and effectiveness between prioritized and unprioritized test cases. © 2016 IEEE. date: 2016 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85010379121&doi=10.1109%2fICCOINS.2016.7783254&partnerID=40&md5=08ed59ce7a7f1c33d89eaefbd8f57c9b id_number: 10.1109/ICCOINS.2016.7783254 full_text_status: none publication: 2016 3rd International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences, ICCOINS 2016 - Proceedings pagerange: 430-435 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781509051342 citation: Joseph, A.K. and Radhamani, G. and Kallimani, V.
