PractiTest has introduced Test Value Score, an innovative AI-powered capability that assigns every test a dynamic 0-100 score based on its real-world impact, enabling QA teams to prioritize execution effectively when time and resources are constrained.

PractiTest advances test management with Test Value Score, a groundbreaking feature that moves QA teams beyond measuring coverage to quantifying true business value and risk reduction.
Test Value Score addresses a core challenge in modern software testing: QA teams often face overwhelming test libraries and limited time, making it difficult to decide which tests deliver the greatest impact. By analyzing real-world execution data—such as defect detection rates, failure patterns, and associations with requirements—SmartFox AI calculates a score that reflects each test's proven contribution to quality. This allows teams to focus high-priority runs on the most valuable tests, optimizing efficiency without sacrificing risk coverage.
“No one in test management has done this before,” said Yaniv Iny, PractiTest’s CEO. “Everyone measures coverage. PractiTest measures value. Coverage shows what was executed. Value indicates what to execute first. That is the breakthrough, and the impact is immediate and measurable.”
“QA teams don’t lack data - they lack answers,” added Iny. “Test Value Score is designed to turn a growing test library into a clear priority list, so teams can focus limited time on the tests that reduce risk most.”
The capability relies on PractiTest’s structured smart data model, which seamlessly links testing entities and supports configurable context through custom fields. This interconnected foundation—spanning user stories to defects and across releases—provides the necessary intelligence for meaningful scoring.
“Intelligence requires structure,” added Joel Montvelisky, PractiTest’s Chief Product Officer. “To score tests by proven impact, structured and configurable context is required, including custom fields tied consistently to requirements, runs, defects, and releases. That foundation enables Test Value Score.”
SmartFox AI evaluates multiple behavioral dimensions in real time, ensuring scores remain relevant as code changes, new features emerge, and testing patterns evolve. This continuous refinement empowers teams to make evidence-based decisions rather than relying on intuition or outdated priorities.
"This is the shift from test execution to testing intelligence," said Joel Montvelisky, PractiTest’s Chief Product Officer. "We're not just tracking what happened. We're guiding teams towards deciding what to do next. Test Value Score is just the beginning - we’re working on additional functionality to deliver testing intelligence and answer every critical QA question."
When tests receive honest, impact-based scores, QA becomes proactive and strategic—teams gain confidence in their focus areas, reduce wasted effort on low-value tests, and align quality efforts more closely with business risk and delivery goals.
Test Value Score is now available to PractiTest customers, marking a significant step toward transforming QA from activity tracking into actionable intelligence.
