Overview of Impact Analysis with Tricentis SeaLights
What is Impact Analysis?
Impact Analysis is the process of identifying the potential consequences and implications of changes to a software application or system.
Why is Impact Analysis needed?
One of the major challenges which testing teams often face during every new software release cycle is to complete testing within the stipulated time due to the high volume of testing and with limited number of resources. By the time a Test plan is created and executed it is noticed that few days have already been exhausted to identify the testcases to be included for testing and prioritizing them. Impact analysis plays an important role in this type of situation. Now, selecting the right candidate for Impact Analysis is also crucial.
Tricentis SeaLights
Tricentis has always been on top of cutting-edge technology with innovative solutions, ideas, new features etc. Last time Tricentis TOSCA Copilot helped in improving ROI significantly. Tricentis, being a global leader in continuous testing and quality engineering, has come up with a promising solution for Impact Analysis. Recently, Tricentis acquired SeaLights.
Tricentis SeaLights provide large enterprises with metrics, traceability, and insights needed to confidently meet their quality gates and deliver software quickly. With help of Tricentis SeaLights Test Impact Analysis (TIA) which is a Smart Test Execution Engine cuts the testing cycle time by 50% to 90%.
By using Tricentis SeaLights organizations can minimize production defects and ensure high quality. It provides advanced code coverage for all types of testing such as integration testing, regression testing etc.
Tricentis SeaLights also integrates with other tools which use User stories and epics and by integrating with those tools it can provide visual representation of the code coverage for each user story.
How Tricentis SeaLights performs Impact Analysis?
Using agents to map code to tests and evaluate code that has changed, Tricentis SeaLights uses machine learning (ML) to identify quality risks during software releases. This shift-left capability enables software testing teams to focus on the minimum number of functional tests, thereby saving time and helping software development team to speed up their release faster. Tricentis SeaLights identifies the potential risks and the testcases that are associated with it. So, in other words by using Tricentis SeaLights the critical tests related to code changes can be identified easily and executed faster.
Why use Tricentis SeaLights?
- It reduces test cycle time and costs by executing only code change-related tests
- Troubleshooting and fixing of issues is faster by focusing on relevant tests
- It minimizes the risk of production errors by identifying and addressing gaps in test coverage
