摘　　要：测试用例集优化的目标是用尽可能少的测试用例充分满足给定的测试目标.针对给定的测试目标,获得精简的测试需求集有助于提高测试用例集优化的效率和效果.从测试需求约简的角度考虑测试用例集优化,首先给出可以精确描述测试需求间相互关系的测试需求约简模型;基于此模型,提出一种测试需求约简方法,可以获得精简测试需求集,作为测试用例集生成和约简的基础,从而实现测试用例集优化.实验结果表明,测试需求约简有助于获得规模较小的测试用例集,实现系统、科学、有效的测试.Test suite optimization aims at satisfying all testing objectives with the least number of test cases. According to the given testing objectives, the reduced testing requirement set can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of test suite optimization. This paper proposes a testing requirement reduction model that can describe the interrelations among the testing requirements in detail. Based on the model, this paper presents a testing requirement reduction method to generate the reduced testing requirement set, which is the basis of test suite generation, reduction and optimization. The experimental results show that the method is helpful to generate the smaller test suite and it contributes to the systematic, reasonable and effective testing.
