AI/ML algorithms can help optimize the test execution process by intelligently selecting which tests to run based on the code changes, impact analysis, and historical test results. This helps prioritize critical tests, reduce redundant executions, and speed up the overall testing process.
- Example: Online Shopping Application
- Test Execution Optimization Without AI/ML
- Prioritize Test Cases: Identify high-priority test cases, such as:
- User registration and login
- Product search and filtering
- Add to cart and checkout process
- Payment processing
- Optimize Test Data: For the user registration and login test case, optimize test data by including different scenarios:
- Valid credentials for successful login
- Incorrect username/password combinations for login failures
- Special characters, long usernames, or passwords to test data validation
- Efficient Test Execution: Group test cases related to the checkout process and execute them together:
- Add items to the cart
- Apply discount codes or promotional offers
- Verify shipping options
- Proceed to payment
- Effective Bug Reporting: When reporting a bug related to the payment processing, provide the following information:
- Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
- Screenshots of any error messages encountered
- Browser version, device details, and operating system used
- Expected result (successful payment) and actual result (error message or failure)
