While traditional reports often rely solely on unit test coverage percentages, SeaLights digs deeper. Here's what sets it apart:

Beyond Unit Tests

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 manual tests. This comprehensive view helps minimize undetected defects and ensures true code quality.

Dynamic Code Analysis

Tracking Code Changes: Unlike static analysis, SeaLights tracks modified code coverage across builds. This helps identify potential regressions introduced by changes, providing valuable insights for deployment readiness.

Contextualized Decisions

Bridging the Gap: SeaLights uses user story information from Jira, linking coverage data directly to specific features. This context empowers informed go/no-go decisions based on each user story's unique needs and testing requirements.

In short, SeaLights goes beyond simply reporting numbers. 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.
