Analyze code change impact to detect defects early in the release cycle. Free for open-source projects!
It's difficult for code reviewers to know the impact of the PR in production. They want to know and focus on the parts of a code change that matter most to their users. Hence, it's difficult for code authors to ensure their testing strategy is in alignment with how their applications are actually used. Moreover, change management processes are mostly manual and daunting. Foresight fits well in change management solutions such as Jira Service Management and ServiceNow and accelerates them by automatically telling how risky it is to move on with missing coverages.
It becomes tough to follow which PR impacts which parts of the application, whether it is well covered by tests or not, and how risky it is to move on. Foresight helps to understand where the test gaps are and the impact of code changes.
Foresight's automated code-change impact reports power up your change management process by allowing you to make a risk-based decision on which test gaps need to be closed before releases. Your change management processes accelerate with Foresight's risk report which tells how risky it is to move on with that missing coverage.
Foresight provides code-level visibility at the PR level at every workflow run and makes it easy to write tests for the gaps. Foresight correlates the changes to the codebase with the test coverage reports to determine how much of the changes are covered by the tests.
We have always kept our main (trunk) branch release-ready, but due to unstable and flaky test that is not always easy. GitHub Actions is an excellent tool for testing purposes, but it is not easy to get a quick glance at the overall healthiness of your tests. Foresight on the other hand gives you an overview of your workflows across all individual runs, and we believe this will be a valuable tool to help us keep our tests healthy.
We heavily use GitHub Actions for our CI/CD pipeline. We have many repos including several mono repositories. Foresight helped us to monitor all the workflows, runs and test results from one single place, to improve the pipeline by the alerts, and to save a lot of time. I highly recommend it to the community.
Testcontainers' own test suite is massive, because nothing is worse than an unstable testing tool. We always knew that there are opportunities to reduce its execution time by optimizing some of these tests, but Foresight helped visualizing the hotspots and prioritize the tests that needs to be optimized first. With this kick in the... err... build, we are ready to stop procrastinating and start optimizing!
