Artificial Intelligence Methods for Optimization of the Software Testing Process
Author: Sahar Tahvili
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323919138
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Artificial Intelligence Methods for Optimization of the Software Testing Process: With Practical Examples and Exercises presents different AI-based solutions for overcoming the uncertainty found in many initial testing problems. The concept of intelligent decision making is presented as a multi-criteria, multi-objective undertaking. The book provides guidelines on how to manage diverse types of uncertainty with intelligent decision-making that can help subject matter experts in many industries improve various processes in a more efficient way. As the number of required test cases for testing a product can be large (in industry more than 10,000 test cases are usually created). Executing all these test cases without any particular order can impact the results of the test execution, hence this book fills the need for a comprehensive resource on the topics on the how's, what's and whys.

Machine Learning for Dynamic Software Analysis: Potentials and Limits
Author: Amel Bennaceur
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331996562X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Machine learning of software artefacts is an emerging area of interaction between the machine learning and software analysis communities. Increased productivity in software engineering relies on the creation of new adaptive, scalable tools that can analyse large and continuously changing software systems. These require new software analysis techniques based on machine learning, such as learning-based software testing, invariant generation or code synthesis. Machine learning is a powerful paradigm that provides novel approaches to automating the generation of models and other essential software artifacts. This volume originates from a Dagstuhl Seminar entitled "Machine Learning for Dynamic Software Analysis: Potentials and Limits” held in April 2016. The seminar focused on fostering a spirit of collaboration in order to share insights and to expand and strengthen the cross-fertilisation between the machine learning and software analysis communities. The book provides an overview of the machine learning techniques that can be used for software analysis and presents example applications of their use. Besides an introductory chapter, the book is structured into three parts: testing and learning, extension of automata learning, and integrative approaches.
