- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Analytics Based Testing
Developers should use Analytics Based Testing when working on data-driven applications, user-centric products, or systems with complex usage patterns to reduce testing overhead and improve quality
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in agile or continuous delivery environments where rapid feedback is essential, as it helps prioritize regression tests, identify critical test scenarios, and allocate testing efforts based on real-world impact
- +Related to: test-automation, data-analytics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
