Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: determining, by a processing circuit of a control computer, that program code in an application program has been modified; determining, by the processing circuit, a set of test cases for the application program based on a mapping of the program code that has been modified to an execution trace of the application program stored in a memory circuit, wherein the execution trace was captured during a prior execution of the set of test cases and comprises a plurality of method identifiers, wherein each method identifier is associated with: determining an optimum number of test cases that will be required for the regression testing based on a similarity between the parameters associated with the test cases in the set of test cases; generating, by the processing circuit, a list of recommended test cases for regression testing the application program from the set of test cases to comprise the optimum number of test cases that will be required for the regression testing; and identifying, by the processing circuit, the list of recommended test cases to a user.
