Optimizer (Beta)

The Optimizer helps you review an Avo Assure project and identify areas for improvement. It uses prompts to check specific conditions across project areas such as Test Cases, Test Steps, Element Repository, Execution Lists, and Data Tables. For example, prompts can identify test steps with fixed wait times, unused artifacts, inconsistent execution results, or other items that require review.

Optimizer provides two types of prompts:

• Verified: Provides predefined prompts for commonly required project analysis. These prompts are grouped into the following categories:

  • Authoring Quality

  • Suite Health

  • Execution Health

• Custom: Allows you to create a prompt based on a specific requirement.

You can run a prompt to view the results and use the available options to review and manage the identified items.

Why Use Optimizer?

A project can contain a large number of Test Cases, Test Steps, Element Repository, Execution Lists, and Data Tables. Reviewing these items manually can make it difficult to identify items that require review or improvement.

Optimizer displays the items identified by the selected prompt, along with relevant details such as the project area, item name, and status. This helps you identify items that require cleanup or correction.

Benefits

Optimizer helps you:

• Identify project items that require review.

• Find unused, empty, or unnecessary artifacts.

• Review test cases and test steps for common quality issues.

• Identify execution results that may require investigation.

• Review results by project artifacts.

• Take available actions on the identified items.

• Run checks manually or schedule them for regular review.

The results of each prompt are displayed with the identified items, allowing you to review the results and take the available actions.

Note:

• The current version of Optimizer is a Beta version and continues to be enhanced and refined based on customer feedback and usage.

• Review all results carefully before taking any action on the identified items.

Prerequisites

The following requirements must be fulfilled before using the Optimizer in Avo Assure:

• User Role: Ensure you sign in as a Quality Manager, or as a Quality Manager with administrator rights. The Optimizer reads data from across your projects, so only these roles access it.

• Project Access: Ensure you have access to the projects you want to review. The Optimizer returns result only from the projects available to you.

• Test Assets: Ensure your projects already contain test cases, element repositories, execution lists, and data tables. The Optimizer reports on the assets you have, so an empty project returns no result.

• Completed Executions: Ensure that the selected test cases have at least one completed execution for prompts that require execution data.

Important Notes

• Actions available for Verified prompts are final and cannot be reversed. The actions are recorded in the Audit Logs.

• Custom prompts do not perform any actions. The results provided by Custom prompts may be inaccurate depending on the prompt.

• The Failed to generate response message may appear when Optimizer cannot generate a response with the required data.

Do not modify or execute artifacts while an optimization is in progress. Changes may cause conflicts or data loss.
