ABSTRACT:
Techniques for prioritizing test dependencies are described. A computer system employing such techniques may present a test structure for a set of test cases. The test structure may comprise prioritized test cases and dependencies between test cases. The dependencies may be based on predicted test case failure given failure of another test case. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
