Traditional development processes often lack real-time insights into code quality, leading to late-stage bugs, delays, and efficiency drops. SeaLights Quality Insights addresses this by going beyond just reporting numbers. It offers deep insights into testing practices to help achieve optimal test coverage and ultimately, higher quality software. Here's a breakdown of its key mechanisms:
Unveiling the Untested: SeaLights dives into non-unit test coverage, revealing areas beyond basic functionality that might require attention, tracking any type of tests anywhere in the pipeline: regression, end-to-end, integration, functional, system, API, performance, component and even manual tests. This holistic view of your testing landscape helps minimize undetected defects and ensures true code quality.
Tracking Code Changes: Unlike static analysis, SeaLights takes a dynamic approach, tracking modified code coverage across builds. This allows for the early detection of potential regressions introduced by changes, ,and pinpoints areas lacking comprehensive testing before they reach production, preventing potential issues and ensuring a smoother release process. This proactive approach offers valuable insights for deployment readiness.
SeaLights empowers you to focus testing efforts where they matter most. User Story Coverage, Code Labels and Code Scope tools allow you to hone your focus on specific features, teams, or business transactions, creating a context-rich understanding of your testing coverage. This enables easier release readiness assessment and informed go/no-go decisions. It pinpoints areas needing new or updated tests for optimal coverage and prevents untested code from slipping into production, ensuring a high-quality final product.
SeaLights leverages historical data to empower teams to analyze quality trends and challenge their testing strategies. By comparing coverage trends with escaping defects, teams gain valuable insights for improvement. This historical analysis also facilitates compliance with regulations and empowers teams to easily demonstrate the effectiveness of their testing practices. Additionally, it highlights areas for improvement, paving the way for continuous quality enhancement.
In short, SeaLights goes beyond simply reporting numbers. It provides a powerful solution to gain deeper insights into testing practices and achieve optimal test coverage. It empowers you to understand what, why, and where when it comes to your code coverage, ultimately leading to more informed testing decisions and higher quality software.
