  Identifying and Reducing Test Case Combinatorial Explosions with Python’s Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and Pytest Framework

  Last updated: Thursday, July 3, 2025

  Published in: CODE Magazine: 2025 Jul/Aug

  Arun addresses the challenge of test matrix explosions in software testing, particularly in machine learning environments. His article introduces a hybrid approach using Python's AST for static code analysis and Pytest's parameterized testing to identify and reduce redundant test cases. By analyzing test files and mapping parameterizations, Arun demonstrates significant improvements in test efficiency, reducing redundancies and execution times in CI/CD pipelines by strategically trimming the test matrix without compromising coverage.
