Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically determining tests to run on source code based on code coverage. In one embodiment, an extensible system takes as input a configuration file having pointers to an IP address of a server where tests are being run and a type of code coverage instrumentation. An agent configured to instrument source code and collect code coverage information is copied to the server at the IP address. During a training phase, the agent intercepts tests being run on source code and provides a dump of the interception results after each test is executed. Using such results, mappings of the tests to the source code is created and stored. During an execution phase, when new or modified source code file is being checked in, a testing application retrieves for execution tests which map to the source code file and to code dependent on the source code file.
