For most projects, a majority of the software build time is spent running tests. Often many of the tests that run in a single build are functionally unnecessary. Despite this, common test impact analysis practices ensure that they will run out of an abundance of caution. This practice introduces unnecessary delays to the developer feedback cycle. To mitigate this, Develocity is proud to announce Predictive Test Selection, which significantly reduces testing time by leveraging machine learning to avoid running irrelevant tests. Inspired by the Predictive Test Selection project at Meta, the Develocity approach proactively develops a test selection strategy by learning from historical changes and test outcomes that are tracked by Develocity Build Scan™.
