Systems and methods for focusing product testing based on areas of change within the product between product builds

A computer system configured to focus product testing based on areas of change within the product, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• instructions being stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
• establish a link between at least one resource file of a product and a test case, wherein the instructions to establish the link comprise instructions executable by the processor to:
• record one or more values associated with an action triggered by the test case,
• determine the resource file associated with each value, and link each determined resource file to the test case;
• compare the resource files of a first build of the product with the resource files of a second build of the product;
• generate a report that comprises which resource files changed between the first build of the product and the second build of the product;
• display the resource files that have changed and the test cases linked to the changed resource files;
• and
• limit an execution of test cases to those test cases that are linked to the changed resource files.

A computer-program product for focusing product testing based on areas of change within the product, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions being executable by a processor to:

• establish a link between at least one resource file of a product and of a test case, wherein the instructions to establish the link are executable by the processor to:
• record one or more values associated with an action triggered by the test case,
• determine the resource file associated with each value, and
• link each determined resource file to the test case;
• compare the resource files of a first build of the product with the resource files of a second build of the product;
• generate a report that comprises which resource files changed between the first build of the product and the second build of the product;
• display the resource files that have changed and the test cases linked to the changed resource files;
• and
• limit an execution of test cases to those test cases that are linked to the changed resource files.
