SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill tackles the growing problem of bloated test suites by intelligently identifying and recommending the removal of redundant and duplicate test cases, thereby optimizing execution time and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Redundancy Identification: Pinpoints tests with identical or highly overlapping code coverage and semantic similarity.
  • Prioritized Recommendations: Suggests which tests to keep and which to remove, based on factors like unique coverage contribution and execution speed.
  • Coverage Preservation: Ensures that test suite effectiveness is maintained or improved after deduplication.
  • Use Case: When your CI/CD pipeline is slowed down by a massive test suite, use this Skill to analyze your tests, identify candidates for removal, and significantly reduce execution time without sacrificing test coverage.

Quick Start

Use the test-deduplicator skill to analyze the test suite in the current directory and generate a report of redundant tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about test-deduplicator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify duplicate test cases to reduce test suite size?▼

Identify duplicate test cases by analyzing code coverage, semantic similarity, and execution results to group equivalent tests and recommend which redundant tests can be safely removed. This reduces test suite size while preserving overall test effectiveness.

What is the best way to optimize test coverage without losing test effectiveness?▼

Optimize test coverage by pinpointing tests with identical or highly overlapping code coverage and semantic similarity, then prioritizing which tests to keep based on unique coverage contribution and execution speed. This maintains or improves overall test effectiveness.

Why does my CI/CD pipeline slow down due to bloated test suites?▼

CI/CD pipelines slow down when bloated test suites contain redundant test cases. Analyzing your tests to identify candidates for removal significantly reduces execution time without sacrificing test coverage.

Can I deduplicate tests based on semantic similarity and execution results?▼

Yes, you can deduplicate tests by evaluating semantic similarity and execution results alongside coverage analysis. The process groups equivalent tests, explains the deduplication rationale, and recommends safe removals to shrink test suites and boost efficiency.

How to find redundant test cases in my current directory?▼

Find redundant test cases in your current directory by running a test deduplication analysis that generates a report of redundant tests. The analysis evaluates code coverage and execution speed to recommend which tests to remove.
