The reduFin Test Optimisation Edition goes way beyond what standard analysis software usually does.
Besides the single test analysis as above, reduFin Test Optimisation analyses the information content of single tests and computes for every test an information gain, which reflects the test’s contribution to the total test coverage:
“MINIMAL INFORMATION LOSS - AND MAXIMAL TEST TIME REDUCTION.”
A single test can produce valuable information, which is, however, almost useless, if some other tests produce approximately the same results. The information gain value is the most important ingredient in a decision process which, eventually, suggests tests that can be (temporarily) removed from the test programme under the constraint of minimal information loss and maximal gain in test time reduction.
At the same time, reduFin Test Optimisation monitors and estimates the risk of leaving out single tests or test groups, so the expert can decide not to sample tests which have a reasonable probability of contributing information or even detecting defective parts.
On the contrary, redundant tests are proposed for dynamic sampling done by the TesterDriver.
