What this changes

java-web runs OpenJDK's class library unmodified, so an OpenJDK test checks java-web only where it runs java-web's own code: the interpreter, the JIT, the natives, sockets, the file system. Most of the 4,031 listed tests ran no VM code that a faster listed test had not already run, and a full CI run took about 25 minutes.

  • scripts/jtreg/run.ts --coverage <dir> collects V8 coverage from every java-web VM a test starts, across all its @run actions, and writes the blocks of the VM it ran to <dir>/<test>.txt only when the whole test passes. With --only-passing it also reruns the tests in redundant.txt, so a new list can bring them back.
  • scripts/jtreg/prune.ts <dir> splits the tests of both lists: fastest first (by times.tsv), a test goes in passing.txt when it ran a block no test before it there ran, and in the new test/jtreg/redundant.txt otherwise. Tests in locale-data.txt stay in passing.txt, and a test without a coverage file (failed or timed out) stays where it was.
  • scripts/jtreg/select.ts sizes the shards by test time (about 10 test-minutes each, up to 8) instead of by count, so the shorter list still spreads over 8 shards.
  • A full run.ts run no longer adds tests listed in redundant.txt back to passing.txt.
  • docs/development.md describes the list and how to redo it.

From a coverage run of all 4,031 listed tests on dist/node.js: 1,001 tests stay (222 of 626 test-minutes), and 3,030 move to redundant.txt (403 test-minutes, 64%). That run kept only the last @run action's coverage, so the 297 tests that start more than one VM stay listed whatever their coverage; the next coverage run with this PR's run.ts can reconsider them. Every area keeps tests:

Area Before After
java/lang 852 310
java/util 815 134
java/net 557 170
java/io 392 91
java/nio 327 145
java/beans 326 25
java/security 189 38
java/time 177 12
java/text 174 31
javax/crypto 66 20
java/awt 52 7
java/math 45 8
javax/xml 31 2
jdk/nio 28 8

Eight tests failed or timed out under coverage (timing-sensitive network and process tests) and stay listed. Any test can move back from redundant.txt to passing.txt.

Tests

  • run.ts --coverage on a small directory writes a coverage file for each passing test and none for the one that failed.
  • No test is in both passing.txt and redundant.txt.
  • This PR's own CI runs the whole pruned list, since it changes run.ts.

Noticed, not fixed

  • The rule keeps one test per covered block. Code whose result depends on its inputs rather than its path (number formatting in a native, for example) is checked by fewer tests now; redundant.txt is the place to bring one back if a regression slips through.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Test runs can now collect coverage data and use it to distinguish tests that provide unique coverage from redundant tests.
    • Test shard estimates now account for recorded test durations, helping balance runs more accurately.
  • Documentation
    • Updated testing guidance explains how to manage passing and redundant test lists, refresh coverage data, and handle locale-data tests and tests that fail under coverage.

The jtreg runner can collect per-test VM coverage. A pruning script uses coverage and runtime data to update passing and redundant test lists. The selector now estimates shard counts from recorded test durations.

Changes: jtreg Test Selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Collect coverage and handle redundant tests
scripts/jtreg/run.ts
The runner accepts a coverage directory, saves executed VM coverage ranges for passing tests, and removes raw coverage data after each test. With coverage enabled, --only-passing also selects redundant tests. Passing-list updates exclude tests on the redundant list.
Prune test lists by coverage
scripts/jtreg/prune.ts, docs/development.md
The pruning script uses coverage ranges to classify tests, retains covered locale-data tests, and keeps tests that add uncovered blocks. It rewrites both lists and reports counts and estimated test-minutes. The documentation describes the lists and their regeneration.
Size shards by recorded runtime
scripts/jtreg/select.ts
Shard sizing uses selected test durations, the median duration for tests without timing data, and a 1–8 shard limit.

Explanation

The title names the CI change (running only OpenJDK tests that cover java-web code that no faster test covers). The changeset does this: prune.ts splits the lists by coverage, run.ts collects coverage, and select.ts shards by time. It is specific and matches the main change. It does not name the new tooling, but that detail is not required.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has 'What this changes' with the behavior changes and rationale. It has 'Tests' with the checks run and the no-duplicates and failure-path checks. It has 'Noticed, not fixed' with a coverage-dependent-results caveat. Its numbers (1,001 kept, 3,030 moved, 297 multi-VM tests, 8 failures) are reported with context. The 'Tests' section does not give the full benchmark or timing results for the speedup, but the template asks for numbers only for performance work, and this PR reports CI-time numbers in the description.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2.

This PR adds test pruning based on V8 code coverage: run.ts --coverage collects per-test coverage blocks from dist/node.js, and prune.ts keeps only tests that cover new blocks (fastest first), moving the rest to redundant.txt. The documentation and CI integration are updated accordingly. A critical bug in run.ts limits coverage collection to the main VM entry file only, ignoring other VM modules, which will cause incorrect pruning.

currently recorded in `redundant.txt` can be reconsidered during list
regeneration. Either add a procedure that restores those IDs to `passing.txt`
and clears `redundant.txt` before the fresh `--only-passing` coverage run, or
update the tooling to process both lists; preserve the existing pruning behavior
for other IDs.

- Line 59: Update the coverage setup in the jtreg runner so each selected test’s
previous coverage file is removed before that test runs, preventing stale data
from being treated as coverage from the new run. Preserve coverage files for
tests not selected in partial runs; do not clear the entire coverage directory.
- Line 527: Update the coverage handling around keepCoverage in runCase to
accumulate coverage from all @run actions instead of overwriting earlier
results, and write the combined coverage file only after runCase determines the
test passed; do not publish coverage for failing tests.

This PR adds test pruning based on V8 coverage: a new prune.ts splits tests between passing.txt and redundant.txt by keeping only the fastest test covering each VM code block. run.ts gains --coverage to collect per-test coverage and rerun redundant tests during coverage runs. select.ts now sizes shards by test time (~10 min each) instead of count. Three clear defects exist in the diff: (1) run.ts line 501 filters coverage to only the main VM file or /src/ paths, discarding coverage from other VM modules (natives.js, runtime.js, etc.), causing over-pruning. (2) run.ts line 512 enables coverage only when the spawned command is exactly "node", so wrapper scripts or ts-node invocations silently lose coverage. (3) select.ts line 75 reads times.tsv without existsSync, crashing if the file is missing. A fourth issue: moving a test from redundant.txt back to passing.txt requires also removing it from redundant.txt, otherwise run.ts --only-passing excludes it; this is not documented.

This PR introduces a test pruning system that reduces the OpenJDK test suite from 4,031 to 1,001 tests by keeping only those that exercise java-web VM code not already covered by a faster test. It adds scripts/jtreg/prune.ts to split tests between passing.txt and redundant.txt based on V8 coverage data collected by run.ts --coverage, updates select.ts to shard by test time (10 test-minutes per shard) instead of count, and documents the workflow in development.md. The pruned list cuts CI time by ~64% while retaining coverage across all java-web areas.

Preserve branch distinctions in the coverage keys.

When two tests take different branches of the same function, V8 can report the same positive parent range for both tests and distinguish them by their zero-count child ranges. This line discards those child ranges. prune.ts can then classify the second test as redundant even though it covers a different VM path. Convert the nested ranges into covered intervals before comparing tests. V8’s range-merging and uncovered-range rules establish this case. (chromium.googlesource.com)

The PR adds test pruning based on V8 coverage to reduce CI time by keeping only tests that cover unique java-web VM code blocks. It introduces prune.ts to split tests between passing.txt and redundant.txt, modifies run.ts to collect per-test coverage with --coverage, and updates select.ts to shard by test time instead of count. However, run.ts has a critical bug where the coverage raw directory path differs between the child process (using the work directory's parent name) and the collection code (using the test ID), so coverage data is never saved.
