回归测试是更改后先前运行的软件保留的验证。在本文中，我们报告了对主要软件工程期刊和会议的回归测试选择技术经验评估的系统评价。在这项系统评价中分析的2,923篇论文中，我们确定了28篇有关回归测试选择技术经验比较评估的报道。他们报告了38项独特的研究（23项实验和15个案例研究），总共评估了32种不同的回归测试选择技术。我们的研究得出的结论是，除了一小部分相关技术外，基于现有的经验证据，无法提供评估技术的清晰图表。取而代之的是，我们确定了对更多和更好的经验研究的需求是评估概念，而不是小的变化。还必须仔细考虑进行研究的背景。
Regression testing is the verification that previously functioning software remains after a change. In this paper we report on a systematic review of empirical evaluations of regression test selection techniques, published in major software engineering journals and conferences. Out of 2,923 papers analyzed in this systematic review, we identified 28 papers reporting on empirical comparative evaluations of regression test selection techniques. They report on 38 unique studies (23 experiments and 15 case studies), and in total 32 different techniques for regression test selection are evaluated. Our study concludes that no clear picture of the evaluated techniques can be provided based on existing empirical evidence, except for a small group of related techniques. Instead, we identified a need for more and better empirical studies were concepts are evaluated rather than small variations. It is also necessary to carefully consider the context in which studies are undertaken.
