Abstract: Software testing is particularly expensive in the case of legacy systems such as mainframes. Critical to many large enterprises, these systems are perpetually in maintenance where even small changes usually lead to an end-to-end regression test. This is called the “retest-all” approach and is done to ensure confidence in the functioning of the system, but this approach is impractical primarily due to resource needs and user stories generated within the agile system that require rapid changes to the system. This research is aimed at reducing the required regression testing and its costs associated with the system. The improvements are achieved by identifying only those tests needed by assets changed and others that are ‘impacted’. The impact analysis leverages the availability of modern static code analysis tools and dedicated test environments for mainframes. By using our proposed impact technique on a real-world mainframe application, the test savings can be about 34%.
