Abstract. Changes in the software necessitate confirmation testing and regression testing to be applied since new errors may be introduced with the modification. Test case prioritization is one method that could be applied to optimize which test cases should be executed first, involving how to schedule them in a certain order that detect faults as soon as possible. The main aim of our paper is to propose a test case prioritization technique by considering defect prediction as a criteria for prioritization in addition to the standard approach which considers the number of discovered faults. We have performed several experiments, considering only faults and the defect prediction values for each class. We compare our approach with random test case execution (for a theoretical example) and with the fault-based approach (for the Mockito project). The results are encouraging, for several class changes we obtained better results with our proposed hybrid approach.
