Abstract
While performing a software engineering project, testing is one of the effort intensive activity accounting for up to 50% of total software development cost. To reduce this cost, parallel execution of test cases is a preferred way for developers. Task Parallel Library (TPL) is a powerful and scalable library providing a wide range of methods while facilitating test harnesses. Here, we propose a novel algorithm P-GUI, thereby using TPL. Results of experiment designed on 10 web pages show that proposed algorithm achieved a speedup of 1.4 on average
