  abstract  = {Test case prioritization schedules test cases for execution in an
	order that attempts to accelerate the detection of faults. The order
	of test cases is determined by prioritization objectives such as
	covering code or critical components as rapidly as possible. The
	importance of this technique has been recognized in the context of
	Highly-Configurable Systems (HCSs), where the potentially huge number
	of configurations makes testing extremely challenging. However, current
	approaches for test case prioritization in HCSs suffer from two main
	limitations. First, the prioritization is usually driven by a single
	objective which neglects the potential benefits of combining multiple
	criteria to guide the detection of faults. Second, instead of using
	industry-strength case studies, evaluations are conducted using synthetic
	data, which provides no information about the effectiveness of different
	prioritization objectives. In this paper, we address both limitations
	by studying 63 combinations of up to three prioritization objectives
	in accelerating the detection of faults in the Drupal framework.
	Results show that non-functional properties such as the number of
	changes in the features are more effective than functional metrics
	extracted from the configuration model. Results also suggest that
	multi-objective prioritization typically results in faster fault
	detection than mono-objective prioritization.},
