QA Engineers & Manual Testers

Test Optimization empowers QA engineers and manual testers to:

• Faster and More Focused Manual Testing: Leverage test optimization recommendations to prioritize and streamline your manual testing efforts, ensuring efficient coverage of critical areas.

• Optimize Test Suite: Utilize the "code to test list" feature to understand which tests are relevant to specific code modifications. This allows for informed decisions on whether tests require adjustment or removal, ensuring optimal test coverage strategy.

• Early Detection for a More Stable Product: Shift left testing by identifying and executing relevant tests earlier in the development lifecycle. This proactive approach helps uncover issues sooner, resulting in a more stable and robust product for broader testing and ultimately, user satisfaction.

Faster & Focused Manual Testing

Test optimization empowers QA engineers and manual testers by providing focused test recommendations, leading to faster and more efficient testing cycles. By analyzing code changes, the tool identifies tests impacted by those changes, allowing testers to:

• Prioritize critical tests: Focus their efforts on tests directly linked to the modified code sections, ensuring thorough coverage of areas most likely to be affected.

• Streamline testing process: Eliminate the need to review and execute irrelevant tests, saving valuable time and resources.

• Increase efficiency: With a targeted approach, testers achieve higher test coverage within shorter timeframes, allowing them to dedicate more time to exploratory testing or other critical tasks.

Optimizing Test Suite

Test optimization empowers QA engineers and manual testers by providing improved test suite management through the "code to test list" feature. This feature enables testers to:

• Understand test-to-code relationships: Gain clear insights into which tests are linked to specific code sections. This knowledge helps identify whether tests are still relevant to the current codebase and functionality.

• Make informed decisions: Based on the code-to-test list, testers can assess whether individual tests require:

  • Adjustment: If code changes have altered functionalities or impacted areas previously covered by a test, the test might need adjustments to remain relevant.

  • Removal: If code sections associated with a test are no longer part of the codebase or have been drastically modified, the test might be obsolete and can be removed for optimal test suite efficiency.

• Maintain optimal test coverage: By analyzing the code-to-test list and strategically adjusting or removing tests, testers can ensure their test suite stays relevant, up-to-date, and effective in covering critical functionalities.

Having Stable Product for Testing

Test optimization empowers QA engineers and manual testers by enabling "shift-left testing". This approach involves introducing testing activities earlier in the development cycle, specifically targeting changes made in the code. By focusing on relevant tests identified by the tool, testers can:

• Identify issues sooner: By testing changes as they happen, problems are identified earlier in the development lifecycle, before they can snowball and become more complex or time-consuming to fix later.

• Proactive bug fixing: Early detection allows for prompt bug fixing, minimizing the potential impact on other code sections and overall functionality.

• More stable product: Addressing issues early contributes to a more stable and robust product for broader testing phases and ultimately, user satisfaction.

Test optimization empowers testers to become proactive partners in the development process, ultimately contributing to earlier issue detection, a more stable product, and higher user satisfaction.
