Test Prioritization vs Test Selection
Developers should use test prioritization in agile or continuous integration environments where rapid feedback is essential, or when dealing with large test suites that cannot be fully executed due to constraints meets developers should learn and use test selection to accelerate feedback loops in agile and devops environments, especially when dealing with extensive test suites that take too long to run. Here's our take.
Test Prioritization
Developers should use test prioritization in agile or continuous integration environments where rapid feedback is essential, or when dealing with large test suites that cannot be fully executed due to constraints
Test Prioritization
Nice PickDevelopers should use test prioritization in agile or continuous integration environments where rapid feedback is essential, or when dealing with large test suites that cannot be fully executed due to constraints
Pros
- +It is crucial for risk-based testing, regression testing, and in scenarios like tight deadlines or resource shortages to maximize defect detection efficiency and reduce testing costs
- +Related to: test-automation, regression-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Test Selection
Developers should learn and use test selection to accelerate feedback loops in agile and DevOps environments, especially when dealing with extensive test suites that take too long to run
Pros
- +It is crucial for maintaining fast CI/CD pipelines, enabling frequent deployments without sacrificing quality, and focusing testing efforts on high-risk or recently modified areas of the codebase
- +Related to: test-automation, continuous-integration
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Test Prioritization if: You want it is crucial for risk-based testing, regression testing, and in scenarios like tight deadlines or resource shortages to maximize defect detection efficiency and reduce testing costs and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Test Selection if: You prioritize it is crucial for maintaining fast ci/cd pipelines, enabling frequent deployments without sacrificing quality, and focusing testing efforts on high-risk or recently modified areas of the codebase over what Test Prioritization offers.
