Streamlining Testing with SeaLights: Intelligent Test Selection

With a growing codebase and test suite, running all tests for every code change becomes impractical and inefficient. Most code changes impact only a specific subset of tests. SeaLights Test Optimization engine, TIA (Test Impact Analysis), powered by machine learning and AI, intelligently maps each method in your code to its corresponding tests. This precise mapping empowers you to:

  • Run only the relevant tests: Identify and select the exact tests associated with code changes in a new build, ensuring optimal coverage without unnecessary redundancy.

  • Focus on what matters: By skipping tests unlikely to fail, you can streamline testing cycles and free up resources for other critical tasks.

The selected subset of tests is automatically executed by different test runners, further streamlining your testing process.


For a deeper understanding of the mechanism and its functionalities, refer to the following steps.

By leveraging SeaLights Test Optimization and its sophisticated TIA technology, you can dramatically improve testing efficiency and effectiveness while maintaining the highest quality standards, ultimately accelerating your development process and delivering software with confidence.
