📌 Project Overview
Objective: Develop a real-time test analysis dashboard that: - 📊 Monitors test execution trends across different environments. - 🔍 Identifies failure root causes and test dependencies. - 🧠 Prepares for AI-powered issue detection and prediction.
🔹 Enhancing Test Case Metadata
Since execution times differ across environments, we need to track & analyze variations:
Field | Description |
---|---|
`environment` | `development`, `test`, or `production` |
`average_duration_per_env` | Historical execution time per environment |
`median_duration_per_env` | More robust than average execution time |
`std_dev_duration_per_env` | Standard deviation for variance analysis |
`execution_variance_score` | Score indicating abnormal variations |
📈 Advanced Test Duration Analysis
Instead of just using averages, we implement statistical measures:
- ✅ Median Execution Time (Less affected by outliers)
- ✅ Percentiles (P90, P95, P99) (Detect slowest executions)
- ✅ Standard Deviation (Measure stability & fluctuations)
🔎 Root Cause Detection Plan
This system automatically finds the origin of a failed test case:
- ✅ Log Analysis (Extract patterns like `"Invalid Login"`, `"Database Timeout"`, etc.)
- ✅ Failure Propagation (If Login API fails, dependent tests are blocked)
- ✅ Environment-Based Debugging (Compare staging vs. production failures)
- ✅ Historical Data Matching (Detect recurrent issues vs. new issues*
🛠️ AI-Powered Failure Detection (Future)
- 🧠 Pattern Recognition in Failures (AI clusters similar failure logs)
- ⏳ Predict Future Failures (Estimate which tests will fail based on past trends)
- 📜 Automatic Log Analysis (AI extracts failure causes from logs & provides recommendations)
