Test usefulness auditing computes a Usefulness Score for each test by multiplying Impact (1-5) by Probability (1-5), then classifies tests as KEEP, REVIEW, or REMOVE based on risk-based thresholds. This quantifies which tests deliver the most value in your pipeline.

Risk-based test value auditing applies Impact and Probability matrices to score test effectiveness and prioritize test maintenance. Use it when you need to reduce test debt, optimize CI/CD execution time, or justify which tests to keep or remove from your suite.

The auditor calculates Usefulness Score for each test, then applies configurable thresholds to automatically classify tests into KEEP (high value), REVIEW (uncertain value), or REMOVE (low value) categories based on their Impact × Probability result.

You need Impact and Probability matrices that assign scores (1-5) to each test, plus test metadata from your pipeline. The auditor produces per-test scores, classifications, and a compliance score in structured JSON output.

Yes. Risk-based test value auditing scales to any test suite size by applying uniform scoring logic across all tests. It produces findings and compliance metrics in a single JSON report regardless of suite scale.
