abstract = {Continuous testing is a novel feature within modern
programming environments, where unit tests constantly
run in the background providing early feedback about
breaking changes. One of the more challenging aspects
of such a continuous testing tool is choosing the
heuristic which selects the tests to run based on the
changes recently applied. To help tool builders
select the most appropriate test selection heuristic,
we assess their efficiency in a continuous testing
context. We observe on two small but representative
cases that a continuous testing tool generates
significant reductions in number of tests that need
to be executed. Nevertheless, these heuristics
sometimes result in false negatives, thus in rare
occasions discard pertinent tests.},
