Calibration

Occasionally opting for sequential testing instead of parallel testing can yield outcomes akin to One-to-One mapping, all without the necessity of tools like OpenTelemetry. Although this approach may consume considerable time, it can offer an immediate and precise mapping outcome if deemed feasible by your organization.

Efficient Code-to-Test Mapping with Sequential Testing (Calibration)

In certain scenarios, sequential testing can produce outcomes comparable to One-to-One mapping, offering a level of precision that parallel testing may not achieve. However, this approach requires dedicated resources and can be time-consuming, making it impractical for some organizations. If you lack the capacity to create and maintain multiple test environments simultaneously without impacting ongoing testing efforts, sequential testing may not be the most suitable option.

It's essential to consider that while sequential testing can yield highly accurate mappings, it's not a one-time process. To ensure that the mapping accurately reflects changes in the codebase, including new tests or modifications to existing ones, regular calibration is necessary. The frequency of calibration depends on the rate at which new tests are added and the extent of changes made to existing tests.
