Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for testing a modified build based on tests ran on an initial baseline build, the computer-implemented method comprising: generating an initial baseline build of a software program, wherein the initial baseline build of the software program includes a plurality of code paths; testing the initial baseline build with a plurality of tests to produce test results for the initial baseline build of the software program, wherein each of the tests includes an identifier that indicates the respective test; during the testing of the initial baseline build of the software program, logging, via a trace, an identifier of any test that hits a respective code path of the initial baseline build of the software program; storing, in a log file, the identifiers of any tests that hit respective code paths of the initial baseline build as code coverage date of the initial baseline build of the software program; after testing the initial baseline build of the software program, utilizing the code coverage data of tests ran on the initial baseline build to test a modified build of the initial baseline build, wherein utilizing the code coverage data includes:
