Test suite reduction problem is one of the important problems in software testing. It aims to satisfy all testing requirements with the minimum number of test cases, so that the testing efficiency can be improved while the testing cost can be decreased. Based on concept and theory introduction of test suite reduction problem, the typical test suite reduction methods are overall reviewed and compared. The issue of fault detection effectiveness, which is closely related to test suite reduction, is also discussed in this paper, and then the techniques of test case prioritization are studied. At last, future development discussion about test suite reduction problem is presented.
