Test Selection vs Full Test Suite Execution
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 meets developers should use full test suite execution before major releases, after significant code changes, or as part of regular ci/cd workflows to catch bugs early and ensure software reliability. Here's our take.
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
Test Selection
Nice PickDevelopers 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
Full Test Suite Execution
Developers should use Full Test Suite Execution before major releases, after significant code changes, or as part of regular CI/CD workflows to catch bugs early and ensure software reliability
Pros
- +It is critical in agile and DevOps environments where frequent deployments require confidence that new changes don't break existing functionality, reducing the risk of production failures
- +Related to: unit-testing, integration-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Test Selection if: You want 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 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Full Test Suite Execution if: You prioritize it is critical in agile and devops environments where frequent deployments require confidence that new changes don't break existing functionality, reducing the risk of production failures over what Test Selection offers.
