Dynamic scheduling of test cases

Abstract:

Dynamically scheduled testing of a software application on one or more devices are disclosed. The system can schedule and execute of one or more test cases associated with a software application. When a device becomes available for testing, the system can determine the list of commits that have not yet been tested. If there are outstanding untested commits, the system can determine the list of test cases in a test plan that are to be scheduled and executed. For each test in the list of test cases, the system can compute an urgency value. Urgency value can be a function of the untested commits. For example, urgency value can be the number of untested commits associated with each test case. The system can then sort the test cases based on the urgency value and schedule the most "urgent" test case for execution.
