Abstract: Test case prioritization methods are based on specific criteria to sort test cases to improve the test efficiency.Considering that the existing techniques are limited to single objective or a few influencing factors,which affect the comprehensive analysis and evaluation of test cases,this paper proposed a test case prioritization method based on analytic hierarchy process.This method aims at optimizing test case sequence,takes the influencing factors as the criterion,and takes the test cases as schemes.It constructs hierarchical structure model and judgment matrices.Lastly,it sorts the test cases,carries out the consistency check,and optimizes the ratio of influencing factors.The experiment uses Matlab software and the APFD as the metric to evaluate.Experimental results show that compared with other existing prioritization methods,this method achieves higher APFD value of 85% and improves the test efficiency.In addition,according to actual requirements,it increases the number of influencing factors,so that it can be flexible

Key words: Analytic hierarchy process, APFD, Influencing factors, Test case prioritization
