A large-scale empirical comparison of static and dynamic test case prioritization techniques
Qi Luo, Kevin Moran, Denys Poshyvanyk · 2016
The large body of existing research in Test Case Prioritization (TCP) techniques, can be broadly classified into two categories: dynamic techniques (that rely on run-time execution information) and static techniques (that operate directly on source and test code). Absent from this current body of work is a comprehensive study aimed at understanding and evaluating the static approaches and comparing them to dynamic approaches on a large set of projects.
