# Predictive Test Selection

<a id="preamble"></a>

Predictive Test Selection (PTS) reduces feedback time by running only the tests that are likely to provide useful feedback for a change. It’s available for Gradle and Apache Maven™ builds.

Predictive-Test-Selection-enabled builds query Develocity before executing a test suite to determine which tests to run.

> [!NOTE]
> Predictive Test Selection is an extension and may not be enabled for your Develocity installation. Contact the [Develocity support](https://support.gradle.com/) your customer representative to enable this extension.
