Kalistick is a French based company editing a software radiography platform for Java and C# developments. Its goal is to help test teams improve their efficiency in software testing.
solution dedicated to software testing
of Java and C# /.Net applications.
Kalistick mixes two unique technologies: automatic software x-ray and test footprint recording to bring a new level of efficiency in testing activities.
A test cases selection wizard helps to optimize test activities on business risks or technical risks. In addition to using dynamic test coverage, Kalistick provides a clear view of untested software changes and a risk assessment to avoid regressions that falls through the net of testing activities.
with a clear visibility of what is in the build they have to test, what has been tested and what has to be tested.
At the end of each sprint, it provides a clear view of test coverage aggregating unit test, automatic test and manual test coverage to unveil untested features and regression risks.
At each release Kalistick x-rays the software to identify the relevant tests to be executed depending on modifications between two versions. By crossing this info with the recorded tests footprints, it can show up which tests are able to cover all the changes and functional impacts.

Regression testing
Kalistick supports testers to identify the relevant test to be executed to cover the regression risks of any release. The platform discovers software changes to select the relevant test cases (manual or automatic) to be executed to cover the regression risks using its “Test Learning System”.A test cases selection wizard helps to optimize test activities on business risks or technical risks. In addition to using dynamic test coverage, Kalistick provides a clear view of untested software changes and a risk assessment to avoid regressions that falls through the net of testing activities.

Test Learning System
Kalistick has a unique technology known as “Test Learning System”. When a test is executed, it records which part of the software is executed by this test, this is the test footprint.At each release Kalistick x-rays the software to identify the relevant tests to be executed depending on modifications between two versions. By crossing this info with the recorded tests footprints, it can show up which tests are able to cover all the changes and functional impacts.
