ABSTRACT: Regression testing is one of the most arduous and challenging activity which has been implemented during maintenance phase of the software development life cycle. With the ever increasing demand of updating the web applications to meet the never ending user’s expectations and to survive in highly competitive environment gives rise to inspiration of regression testing of web application. But due to a range of constraints like monetary issues, short span of time and availability of skilled human resources; it becomes very much impractical for comprehensive regression testing of web application. In this proposed approach the user sessions which are traced out from logs of the server act as an input to the system .With the help of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO) the proposed approach will generate minimum number of test cases fulfilling certain predefined objectives. Moreover in the proposed approach, with the help of ACO and user sessions, minimum number of test cases will be generated for regression testing of the web application in hand
