    I am trying using Ant colony optimization algorithm for Regression test case selection and priortization. I have seen a tool on the following link: Applying Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms to Solve the Traveling Salesman Problem[^] But this tool was for Travelling sales per problem. Can I use the same for Regression test case selection? Please help!

      Can you? Of course. Should you? I doubt it. Will it be easy? I doubt it.

        Actually as I have understood, test case can be the cities that are used in the application . But in test cases, we have additonal two attributes, Fault covered and time taken to execute a test case. I am not sure where to use this two attributes in this application. Link to the application is : Applying Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms to Solve the Traveling Salesman Problem[^] Please help me in this

          No idea what that means.

          That isn't the point. The point is why is it appropriate to use this in a unit test, especially given that is not only going to be quite difficult to implement but also in that it is likely going to take some time to execute.

            Thanks jschell for understanding my question. Do I need to make any changes to the application to use it for test case selection or it can be use directly by assuming cities to be the tests cases. Please reply

              In that case, fault covered and time taken to execute those test cases... can they be relate to any of the ACO attribute or I need to create another or make some changes in coding.
