Commit sensitive tests

An application testing system configured for commit sensitive testing, the system comprising:

• a host computing system comprising at least one computer with memory and at least one processor;
• a testing tool executing in the memory of the host computing system and configured to apply a plurality of tests to different files of an application;
• and,
• a commit sensitive testing module coupled to the testing tool, the module comprising program code enabled upon execution in the memory to apply a full set of different tests to an application, to monitor the application of the full set of different tests to determine files of the application affected by the full set of the different tests, to generate a mapping of each of the files and corresponding ones of the full set of the different tests affecting each of the files, and to respond to a change in one of the files, by identifying in the mapping only a subset of the full set of the different tests affecting the changed one of the files and applying only the subset of the full set of the different tests to the changed one of the files.

A computer program product for commit sensitive testing, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code for applying a full set of different tests to an application;
• computer readable program code for monitoring the application of the full set of different tests to determine files of the application affected by the full set of the different tests;
• computer readable program code for generating a mapping of each of the files and corresponding ones of the full set of the different tests affecting each of the files;
• and,
• computer readable program code for, in response to detecting a change in one of the files, identifying in the mapping only a subset of the full set of the different tests affecting the changed one of the files and applying only the subset of the full set of the different tests to the changed one of the files.
