Running tests as often and as early as possible is the dream of many agile testers. Ideally, after every commit and on all branches, so we immediately notice when we break something.
But what if my tests take hours or even days? What if I conduct manual testing? For many, the dream of an accelerated testing process seems unattainable or at least impractical.
However, research shows possible solutions: One approach to providing quick feedback even with slow tests is to run a small subset that is fast enough. This is worthwhile if this subset finds a majority of the defects. For example, 80% of defects in 5% of the time. We need innovative methods for this, but they also need to be practically feasible.
In this workshop, you'll learn about four approaches that can be implemented with little effort in existing projects to uncover most defects with minimal testing effort. Based on AI, test coverage and classical search methods. We present fundamentals, research results and practical use cases. Learn which approach offers the best cost-benefit ratio for your software!
