Abstract: Prioritizing test cases enables test suites to be scheduled in a manner that optimize the objective of reducing effort to test exhaustively. Of various techniques/methods available, a need is felt to further improve existing schemes. In this paper, we propose clustering based prioritization and support our effort with average percentage of fault detection (APFD) measure. We target the significant test suites to get priority. Our method can considerably help realization of overall clustering approach.
