This paper proposes a new technique for improving the efficiency of software testing, which is based on an attempt to reduce test cases using existing techniques as well as reducing test case execution time by using proposed technique that have to be tested for any given software. The approach utilizes the advantage of Regression Testing where fewer test cases would lessen time consumption of the testing as a whole and achieve maximum coverage. As for the test case reduction by using existing method, the technique uses simple algebraic conditions to assign fixed values to variables (Maximum, minimum and constant variables). By doing this, the variables values would be limited within a definite range, resulting in fewer numbers of possible test cases to process. As for the test case Execution time reduction by using proposed method, the technique uses simple parallelism to execute test case parallely without interfering other path in the application. By doing this, we can reduce the test cases execution time and cost of testing.
