Abstract

Black Box Testing is used when code of the module is not available. In such situations appropriate priorities can be given to different test cases, so that the quality of software is not compromised, if testing is to be stopped prematurely. This paper proposes a framework, which uses requirement analysis and design specification, to prioritize the test cases. The work would be beneficial to both practitioners and researchers.
