# Maintain Your Test Suite

Kerno keeps your test suite in sync with your project without any manual work. Once a baseline exists, Kerno watches how your code evolves and updates the tests accordingly.

### How Maintenance Works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### **Analyze your updated code**

<mark style="color:$info;">Kerno reviews the changes in your project to understand how the endpoint has shifted.</mark>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Run existing scenarios**

<mark style="color:$info;">Kerno executes your scenarios and compares the results with the saved baseline.</mark>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Surface behaviour differences**

<mark style="color:$info;">Any changes in behaviour are shown clearly so you can review them.</mark>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Apply accepted changes**

<mark style="color:$info;">If you accept the differences, Kerno updates the scenarios to match the new behaviour.</mark>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Add/remove scenarios**

<mark style="color:$info;">Kerno checks whether new scenarios should be created or old ones removed.</mark>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Keep everything aligned**

<mark style="color:$info;">Your test suite stays consistent with your current code without any manual work.</mark>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

You do not need to rewrite old tests, fix broken scenarios, or manage fixtures. Kerno handles all ongoing adjustments and keeps the entire suite accurate as your project evolves.
