JIT (Just in time) Testing

JIT (Just in time) Testing  image
JIT Testing is the practice of testing only what has changed, when it changed, to keep the feedback loop as tight as possible. It means creating temporary disposable tests or selecting from an existing automation suite. More tools are using LLMs (large language models) to support this type of testing, and even security tools are using similar practices. 

It is important to note that this isn't really about replacing or doing less testing. It's a strategy that aims to reduce effort in some areas. Where continuous quality or testing practices are used, JIT testing aligns well.
