For example, many Regression testing is an expensive and frequently companies use nightly builds, which include building, executed activity, which is often performed in a linking, and unit testing of the software [8]. Most of resource constrained execution environment. As the exiting test suite optimization techniques do not resource-aware test suite optimization problem can be incorporate a testing resource budget. Therefore, there reduced to the 0-1 knapsack problem, which can be is a clear need for an optimization technique that has efficiently
