Abstract
An example system includes (i) a software product having a plurality of code units that accesses a database, (ii) a processor, and (iii) a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon software tests and instructions that cause the processor to: execute the software tests on a first version of the software product; determine a first mapping between each respective software test and one or more of the code units; determine a second mapping between each respective software test and one or more data units in the database; determine that, between a second version and the first version of the software product, a particular code and data unit have changed; select, from the first and the second mappings, a set of software tests with mappings to the particular code unit or data unit; and execute the set of software tests on the second version of the software product.
