Are the commands test -r and test equivalent? #569

If I only modify the faulty code，are the commands test -r and test equivalent?

In most cases yes, but it depends on the modification. If the modification results in importing and calling additional classes, then the set of relevant tests may be larger than the default set in Defects4J.
