Abstract

Techniques are included for intelligently testing a software product using a limited number of test cases that are configured to test portions of the software product that have changed since a prior testing. To determine which test cases are best used for testing the implemented changes, a test case-to-programmatic flow mapping may be generated that relates each test case available for testing the software product with each programmatic flow that is tested by the test case. In addition, a programmatic flow-to-artifact mapping may be created that relates each programmatic flow discovered in the software product to each artifact that is accessed, created, changed, or dependent on the programmatic flow. Using these mappings, specific test cases may be determined for testing only those portions of the software product that have changed since the prior testing.
