摘要：
Software maintainers are faced with the task of regression testing: retesting a program after a modification. The goal of regression testing is to ensure that bug fixes and new functionality do not adversely affect the correct functionality inherited from the original program. Regression testing often involves running a large program on a large number of test cases; thus, it can be expensive in terms of both human and machine time. Many approaches for reducing the cost of regression testing have been proposed. Those that make use of program slicing are surveyed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
