Introduction

The product page says ‘Launchable is now CloudBees Smart Tests’. It uses AI to run the tests most relevant to each code change, so teams get faster feedback, less flaky-test noise and lower CI waste across existing tools and pipelines (vendor claims). CloudBees’ menu describes it as AI-driven test intelligence that delivers developer feedback 80% faster (vendor claim).

The approach is predictive test selection: a model learns from the history of code changes and test results, then, for a new change, picks a subset of tests likely to catch failures, so a short run can give early feedback before the full suite. It also surfaces flaky patterns and helps triage failed builds. The page frames this as increasingly important because coding agents add changes faster than full suites can run.

Smart Tests is part of the CloudBees Unify platform but works with other CI systems.

In the quality loop it supports faster release gates by shrinking feedback time.

Features

  1. Predictive test selection: Run the most relevant tests per change.
  2. Flaky insights: Surface flaky patterns.
  3. Failure triage: Reduce time spent on failed builds.
  4. Works with existing CI: Not limited to CloudBees CI.
  5. Free trial: Try before buying.

Pros

  1. Big time savings for large suites: Subsets give quick feedback (vendor claim).

Cons

  1. Needs history: Models need data to be accurate.
  2. Risk of missed failures: Subsets must be backed by full runs.
  1. Install the Smart Tests CLI in CI and record builds and test results.
  2. After enough history, request a subset for pull requests.
  3. Keep full runs nightly or before release.

  1. Teams with long test suites and frequent changes.
  2. Not a fit for small, fast suites.
