US Patent 10417119 Dynamic testing based on automated impact analysis

A method for automated software testing may include mapping test cases to lines in files in a codebase. Each test case covers one or more lines in one or more files and has corresponding test results. The method may further include obtaining a change list including one or more changes. Each change specifies a changed line in a changed file. The method may further include determining impacted test cases, based on the mapping and the change list, prioritizing the impacted test cases based, in part, on test results corresponding to each impacted test case, executing, based on the prioritization, one or more impacted test cases to obtain executed test cases, and obtaining, for each executed test case, new test results.
