Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed methods for testing information handling system software identify trace points, test cases, and test resources for testing firmware or another type of software and perform a full regression of the software to obtain test information including coverage information indicative of traces points reached by each test case and test duration information indicative to time required to perform each test case, wherein the full test include performing each test case on each test resource. based on the test information, optimized test case test resource (tctr) tuples are determined for efficiently testing the software. the optimized tctr tuples, when executed, achieve greater coverage per time interval than the full test. performing the full regression test may include executing each test case on each testing resource.
