Abstract: In real time software systems, testing plays a crucial role as any of the critical components in these systems are left undetected, then inadvertent effects will happen which will lead to erroneous operations, system failure, high cost and resource wastage etc. To address this most important and the emergent problem, this research work proposes an effective method by means of multi-agents based approach to identify such critical components and execute test cases along the critical test paths which will aid in effectively covering them during testing. Finally, this paper also compared the performance with existing approaches in terms of time taken for the search process and the component coverage based test adequacy criterion to ensure quality of the software.
