Regression testing of software systems is an important and critical activity yet expensive and resource-intensive. An approach to enhance its efficiency is Regression Test Selection (RTS), which selectively re-executes a subset of relevant tests that are impacted by code modifications. Previous studies on static and dynamic RTS for Java software have shown that selecting tests at the class level is more effective than using finer granularities like methods or statements. Nevertheless, RTS at the package level, which is a coarser granularity than class level, has not been thoroughly investigated or evaluated for Java projects. To address this gap, we propose PKRTS, a static package-level RTS approach that utilizes the structural dependencies of the software system under test to construct a package-level dependency graph. PKRTS analyzes dependencies in the graph and identifies relevant tests that can reach modified packages, i.e., packages containing altered classes. In contrast to conventional static RTS techniques, PKRTS implicitly considers dynamic dependencies, such as Java reflection and virtual method calls, among classes belonging to the same package by treating all those classes as a single cohesive node in the dependency graph. We evaluated PKRTS on 885 revisions of 9 open-source Java projects, with its performance compared to Ekstazi, a state-of-the-art dynamic class-level approach, and STARTS, a state-of-the-art static class-level approach. We used Ekstazi as the baseline to measure the safety and precision violations of PKRTS and STARTS. The results indicated that PKRTS outperformed static class-level RTS in terms of safety violation, which measures the extent to which relevant test cases are missed. PKRTS showed an average safety violation of 2.29% compared to 5.94% safety violation of STARTS. Despite this, PKRTS demonstrated lower precision violation and lower reduction in test suite size than class-level RTS, as it selects higher number of irrelevant te

Container-based virtualization technology has been more widely used in edge computing environments recently due to its advantages of lighter resource occupation, faster startup capability, and better resource utilization efficiency. To meet the diverse needs of tasks, it usually needs to instantiate multiple network functions in the form of containers interconnect various generated containers to build a Container Cluster(CC). Then CCs will be deployed on edge service nodes with relatively limited resources. However, the increasingly complex and timevarying nature of tasks brings great challenges to optimal placement of CC. This paper regards the charges for various resources occupied by providing services as revenue, the service efficiency and energy consumption as cost, thus formulates a Mixed Integer Programming(MIP) model to describe the optimal placement of CC on edge service nodes. Furthermore, an Actor-Critic based Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL) incorporating Graph Convolutional Networks(GCN) framework named as RL-GCN is proposed to solve the optimization problem. The framework obtains an optimal placement strategy through self-learning according to the requirements and objectives of the placement of CC. Particularly, through the introduction of GCN, the features of the association relationship between multiple containers in CCs can be effectively extracted to improve the quality of *** experiment results show that under different scales of service nodes and task requests, the proposed method can obtain the improved system performance in terms of placement error ratio, time efficiency of solution output and cumulative system revenue compared with other representative baseline methods.
