SmartTestMap

My Solution: SmartTestMap A tool that visualizes how well automated tests map to actual user journeys — and helps teams prioritize what matters.

Summary: SmartTestMap helps QA teams bridge the gap between automated test coverage and real user behavior. Traditional code coverage tools don’t tell you if your most valuable user journeys are being tested — but SmartTestMap does.

By ingesting analytics logs (from tools like PostHog or your backend logs) and parsing automated test flows (from Playwright or Cypress), SmartTestMap creates an interactive user journey graph. This graph is overlaid with test coverage indicators, clearly showing which flows are tested and where gaps exist.

Even better, SmartTestMap uses AI to recommend the next best tests to write, based on frequency, value, and criticality of flows — ensuring your automation efforts are aligned with real usage.

With SmartTestMap, you write smarter tests, catch more relevant bugs, and build trust in your testing strategy.

🔍 What it does:

Captures user journeys from production or staging (via browser session recording or analytics API like PostHog/Amplitude).
Parses test automation scripts (e.g., Playwright, Cypress) to extract interaction sequences.
Matches and visualizes which user flows are covered by which tests — and highlights gaps.
Suggests missing test paths using AI (based on actual user behavior and app routes).
Provides a test impact heatmap on a UI-level graph of the app.

🔧 Tech Stack Frontend: React + D3.js for flow/coverage visualization Backend: Node.js + Express AI: OpenAI API to match and recommend test flows Data Sources: Playwright/Cypress test code parser PostHog, Mixpanel, or mock analytics logs Storage: JSON for test data + local SQLite for sessions

Key Features (Project Code) smarttestmap ingest analytics : Ingest user session paths from JSON logs or API smarttestmap ingest tests : Parse Playwright/Cypress files to extract flows like:

await page.click('text=Login')
await page.fill('#email', 'test@example.com')
await page.click('text=Submit')

smarttestmap visualize: Open a web dashboard that shows: Flow graph: Nodes = app states; Edges = user actions Color-coded coverage: Green (covered), Yellow (partially), Red (missing) smarttestmap suggest: Lists uncovered frequent flows for writing new tests Export Coverage Report: Markdown or JSON
