Test Impact Analysis
Test Impact Analysis (TIA) is a software testing technique that identifies which tests should be run after a code change by analyzing the relationship between modified code and existing test coverage. Its goal is to reduce test execution time while maintaining confidence that changes have not introduced regressions. TIA is commonly used in continuous integration and large codebases where running the full test suite for every change is impractical.
