Test Optimization Main Advantages

Test Optimization generates a tailored list recommending tests to be selectively run or skipped for each test type and stage. This capability yields several significant advantages:

  • Accelerating Release Speed by reducing test cycle duration.

  • Decreasing Testing Expenses through saved computational resources and minimized manual testing efforts.

  • Enhancing Efficiency by prioritizing pertinent tests and establishing rapid feedback loops.

  • Boosting Confidence in Release by maximizing code coverage within minimal timeframes.


Accelerating Release Speed

As testing increasingly becomes the bottleneck in every release, characterized by substantial volumes of diverse tests, the imperative to minimize testing cycle time becomes vital for achieving faster or more frequent code deployments to production. Examples:

  • Extended manual testing, spanning a week or longer, often hinders rapid releases. Focusing solely on the affected tests can substantially minimize manual testing to just a few days or less, effectively overcoming this obstacle.

  • Regression tests, automated but time-consuming, typically run nightly or at longer intervals. Subsequently, additional time is needed for analyzing the results and making decisions pre-release. With Test Optimization, teams have the capability to incorporate a partial regression cycle into the CI/CD process, enabling them to receive rapid feedback.

Boosting Confidence in Release

Shortening feedback loops through Test Optimization enables teams to proceed swiftly with assurance and reduced uncertainty. Example:

  • During urgent hotfixes, speed is critical, leaving little time for extensive testing and often relying on guesswork. Test Optimization aids efficient hotfix processes by maximizing code coverage in minimal time, empowering the release of hotfixes with confidence.
