Test Sessions API (a.k.a TIA API)

You can integrate any Testing framework with Sealights to capture Tests Events like Start and End of Test Stage, Tests results, etc using the API described on this page.
This API includes getting the list of tests recommended to be skipped by Sealights for Test Optimization (TIA) and forcing a Full-Run on the next execution of a Test Stage.

For your reference, you’ll find a few sample integrations with various Testing frameworks listed on our dedicated documentation page.

This API requires an Agent Token.
