Methods, systems and media for generating an improved regression suite by
applying harvesting models and/or regression algorithms to tests utilized
in verification of a system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a
regression manager responsive to user input may be coupled to a harvester
module, an analysis module, and a management module. In one embodiment,
the harvester module is responsive to harvesting models defined in a
modeling language, where the harvester module is coupled to a regression
suite database. In another embodiment, a regression methodology may be
defined from a collection of regression strategies and each regression
strategy may be defined from a combination of harvesting models and/or
regression algorithms. A regression generator to receive tests, to apply
one or more regression strategies to the tests, to provide reports, and
to allow user control may also be provided.
