SeaLights empowers you with complete transparency into your testing process by seamlessly integrating with a wide range of tools, platforms, and architectures. This intricate dance allows it to weave a comprehensive tapestry of data on user story coverage, providing invaluable insights for informed decision-making.
Imagine a central hub, the heart of SeaLights, constantly collecting and analyzing data from various sources. Testing frameworks, source control systems, and project management tools feed information into this hub, painting a detailed picture of your testing practices.
Deployed alongside these tools, SeaLights agents act as data scouts, capturing critical information about tests, code changes, and their intricate relationships. No testing stage escapes their grasp: unit, integration, component, regression, sanity, end-to-end, and even manual tests – all meticulously tracked for a holistic view of coverage across the entire spectrum.
As tests run, SeaLights agents intercept them, extracting code coverage data like ninjas and transmitting it back to the central hub. This real-time information flow ensures you stay up-to-date on your testing progress.
SeaLights doesn't stop at capturing test data. It also keeps a watchful eye on your codebase, utilizing source control repositories to track changes and their impact on test coverage. This enables proactive identification of potential test gaps introduced by modifications.
By matching commit messages to corresponding user stories in your project management system, SeaLights creates a direct link between code changes and their associated context. This contextualization empowers you to understand precisely how changes in specific user stories have impacted testing coverage.
Finally, SeaLights delivers the collected data back to your project management system (e.g., Jira) through custom fields. This ensures your team has immediate access to the latest code coverage information for each user story, fostering informed decision-making and driving continuous improvement in your testing practices.
SeaLights' interoperable architecture allows it to seamlessly adapt to your unique development ecosystem, regardless of the tools and platforms you use. This adaptability makes it a valuable asset for any software team seeking to achieve comprehensive testing and deliver high-quality products.
