Tests can be categorized as important with respect to ensuring software functions correctly as a function of one or more rules that define importance. The rules can be configurable to enable control of categorization. Further, tests categorized as important can be highlighted in some manner, for instance by displaying important tests in a group designated for such tests.

Streamlined testing experience

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying impacted tests from statically collected data. In general, static dependency data, possibly augmented with some dynamic data, is used to find an appropriate set of impacted tests for code changes. In some embodiments, static dependency analysis is used to identify tests impacted by a code change. Heuristics can be used to assist with identifying an appropriate set of impacted tests to run for a code change. Dynamic data can be used to augment static dependency data to identify more optimal sets of impacted tests to run for a code change.

Identifying impacted tests from statically collected data

An extensible framework for object oriented programming comprises a reception component that receives a customized strategy relating to composing a target object. An implementation component automatically implements the customized strategy to compose the target object based at least in part upon context associated with the target object. The extensible framework can further comprise a context component that determines the context, including context of an application associated with the target object, existing objects associated with the target object, and relationships between the existing objects.
