Optimizing Test Execution With Test Impact Analysis
Accelerate testing feedback with Parasoft’s test impact analysis (TIA). Eliminate lengthy regression test executions, embrace faster feedback cycles, and unlock higher efficiency across the SDLC.
Test Impact Analysis
Get Faster Feedback From Regression Testing
Test execution can become time-consuming as the number of test cases grows. Parasoft’s test impact analysis optimizes test executions across the SDLC, boosting team agility by delivering faster feedback on the impact of application changes.
Accelerate Test Cycles

Accelerate Test Cycles
Leverage test impact analysis to accelerate testing cycles by focusing testing on recently modified areas of the codebase. Easily ensure that code changes don’t introduce new defects or break existing functionality.
How It Works
Traditional testing methods often involve running the entire test suite regardless of the scale of changes made to the codebase, resulting in time-consuming and resource-intensive testing cycles. In contrast, TIA focuses test executions exclusively on the areas of the application affected by recent changes, ensuring that testing efforts are targeted and efficient.
Use Parasoft’s test impact analysis to easily identify and correlate recent code changes to impacted test cases, selectively running only the relevant test cases needed to validate changes. With TIA, teams can swiftly identify potential issues introduced by modifications. As a result, they reduce the risk of regression bugs and enhance overall software quality.

Reduce Testing Costs
Streamline test execution to reduce testing costs. Efficiently allocate resources by focusing on critical areas affected by changes and minimizing unnecessary testing. This targeted approach ensures optimized testing efforts, leading to cost savings and improved ROI.
How It Works
Test impact analysis reduces testing costs by optimizing how testing resources are allocated. TIA pinpoints and executes only the relevant test cases impacted by changes. Teams streamline their testing processes, eliminating the need for extensive and resource-intensive testing cycles.
This targeted approach saves valuable time and effort. It also reduces cloud and infrastructure costs associated with CI/CD pipelines because fewer resources are required for executing tests.

Test Impact Analysis for UI Testing
Increase the efficiency of UI testing by focusing executions on only the subset of test cases that correlate to applicate change, significantly reducing test execution times.
How It Works
UI testing is resource intensive. When the test suite is large, executing the entire suite is time-consuming and causes down times as testers wait for feedback from tests run. The delayed feedback reduces the agility of the team and throttles their testing velocity. UI testing teams can easily enable test impact analysis inside their CI/CD pipeline and execute only the subset of test cases that are necessary to validate that code changes have not broken existing functionality or introduced new defects.
Test impact analysis is a built-in feature of Parasoft’s Selenic and SOAtest solutions for automated functional testing. Leverage Selenic to easily run TIA on Java-based Selenium test cases. Use SOAtest to run test impact analysis on web UI and end-to-end test cases created with SOAtest. For applications written in Java or .NET, integrate Parasoft test impact analysis with various testing frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or Ranorex.

Test Impact Analysis for APIs & Distributed Microservice Architectures
Teams can ensure the functionality and stability of APIs and microservices more efficiently by running TIA to determine which test cases need to be executed to validate application change, accelerating testing agility and velocity.
How It Works
In end-to-end testing of distributed microservices, the challenge lies in determining the relevant test cases needed to validate changes in downstream microservices. Test impact analysis is a crucial tool in this landscape, offering clarity amidst the intricate web of interconnected services.
By pinpointing the specific microservices that were changed, TIA enables teams to streamline their testing efforts, accelerating the CI/CD workflow. This targeted approach ensures the integrity of APIs in microservice architectures and also fosters higher levels of agility and test velocity, vital in environments where releases occur multiple times per day.
For applications written in Java and .NET, teams can leverage our solutions to gather and analyze code coverage from automated API and end-to-end test executions, regardless of the testing framework. This provides coverage and traceability even in distributed microservice architectures. When teams run test impact analysis in their CI/CD pipelines, they can easily validate application changes in complex environments without running the entire regression test suite.

Test Impact Analysis & Live Unit Testing for Faster Change Validation
Execute test impact analysis and leverage live unit testing to expedite unit testing feedback, minimizing the risk of build failures caused by broken test cases or newly introduced defects from code changes.
How It Works
Tired of committing code only to find out later that it breaks the build due to failing tests? IDE-based live unit testing enables Java developers to focus on validating changes before they commit updated code to source control systems. Live unit testing enables them to fully automate the execution of impacted tests inside their IDEs to validate code changes locally and get immediate feedback on broken functionality. This reduces the risk of regressions and minimizes the likelihood of build failures.
In CI/CD pipelines, speed is essential. Yet, running an entire unit test suite each time code changes may slow down the process significantly. CLI-based test impact analysis enables Java and .NET application teams to get faster feedback by optimizing their CI/CD pipelines to run the specific set of tests that validate an application change, making development teams more agile and iterative when bringing software to the market.
