Abstract: Test case prioritization (TCP) is deemed valid to improve testing efficiency, especially in regression testing, as retest all is costly. The TCP schedule the test case execution order to detect bugs faster. For such benefit, test case prioritization has been intensively studied. This paper reviews the development of TCP for regression testing with 48 papers from 2017 to 2020. In this paper, we present four critical surveys. First is the development of approaches and techniques in regression TCP studies, second is the identification of software under test (SUT) variations used in TCP studies, third is the trend of metrics used to measure the TCP studies effectiveness, and fourth is the state-of-the-art of requirements-based TCP. Furthermore, we discuss development opportunities and potential future directions on regression TCP. Our review provides evidence that TCP has increasing interests. We also discovered that requirement-based utilization would help to prepare test cases earlier to improve TCP effectiveness.
