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. To learn more about Elsevier's Series, Uncertainty, Computational Techniques and Decision Intelligence, please visit this link: https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals/book-series/uncertainty-computational-techniques-and-decision-intelligence - Presents one of the first empirical studies in the field, contrasting theoretical assumptions on innovations in a real industrial environment with a large set of use cases from developed and developing testing processes at various large industries - Explores specific comparative methodologies, focusing on developed and developing AI-based solutions - Serves as a guideline for conducting industrial research in the artificial intelligence and software testing domain - Explains all proposed solutions through real industrial case studies

Handbook of Metaheuristic Algorithms
Author: Chun-Wei Tsai
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0443191093
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
Handbook of Metaheuristic Algorithms: From Fundamental Theories to Advanced Applications provides a brief introduction to metaheuristic algorithms from the ground up, including basic ideas and advanced solutions. Although readers may be able to find source code for some metaheuristic algorithms on the Internet, the coding styles and explanations are generally quite different, and thus requiring expanded knowledge between theory and implementation. This book can also help students and researchers construct an integrated perspective of metaheuristic and unsupervised algorithms for artificial intelligence research in computer science and applied engineering domains. Metaheuristic algorithms can be considered the epitome of unsupervised learning algorithms for the optimization of engineering and artificial intelligence problems, including simulated annealing (SA), tabu search (TS), genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), and others. Distinct from most supervised learning algorithms that need labeled data to learn and construct determination models, metaheuristic algorithms inherit characteristics of unsupervised learning algorithms used for solving complex engineering optimization problems without labeled data, just like self-learning, to find solutions to complex problems. - Presents a unified framework for metaheuristics and describes well-known algorithms and their variants - Introduces fundamentals and advanced topics for solving engineering optimization problems, e.g., scheduling problems, sensors deployment problems, and clustering problems - Includes source code based on the unified framework for metaheuristics used as examples to show how TS, SA, GA, ACO, PSO, DE, parallel metaheuristic algorithm, hybrid metaheuristic, local search, and other advanced technologies are realized in programming languages such as C++ and Python

AI-POWERED SOFTWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE: TRANSFORMING TESTING WITH AI AND MACHINE LEARNING
Author: Amit Bhanushali
Publisher: Xoffencerpublication
ISBN: 8119534441
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
New challenges have arisen for the construction of contemporary AI-based systems as a result of recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), in particular machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), and their incorporation into software-based systems utilized in all sectors of the economy. These systems place a heavy reliance on data, are constantly evolving and bettering themselves, and display a degree of intrinsic nondeterminism. As a consequence, their behavior displays a degree of uncertainty that is universally acknowledged. As a result of these characteristics, the field of software engineering has to devise adaptable and innovative approaches to quality assurance (QA) that are capable of both constructive and in-depth analysis. This is essential in order to guarantee the product's high quality throughout the whole development process as well as while it is being put to use in actual settings. On the other hand, as Borg has pointed out, the concept of "quality" in AI-based systems does not yet have a definitive definition at this time. As was noted before, the terminology that is utilized in the field of artificial intelligence and software engineering is distinct from one another. When developing AI-based systems, the knowledge and experiences of a wide variety of organizations are combined and utilized in the construction process. While this does lead to new and creative ways, exciting breakthroughs, and a major advancement in what can be done with current AI-based systems, it also encourages the babel of language, concepts, perceptions, and underlying assumptions and principles. While this does lead to new and creative methods, exciting breakthroughs, and a substantial advancement in what can be done with current AI-based systems, this does lead to new and creative approaches. While this does result in novel and creative methods, exciting discoveries, and a significant leap forward in terms of what can be accomplished with contemporary AI-based systems, it does so in spite of the fact that. For instance, in the field of machine learning (ML), the term "regression" may be used to refer to regression models or regression analysis, but in the field of software engineering (SE), the term "regression" is used to refer to regression testing. However, in the context of machine learning (ML), the term "testing" refers to the evaluation of performance characteristics (such as accuracy) of a trained model using a holdout validation dataset. In the context of software engineering (SE), "testing" is described as the activity of executing the system in order to uncover errors. As a consequence of this, there is an increasing amount of confusion, as well as the potential of solutions that are in contradiction with one another, about how to approach quality assurance for AI-based systems and how to deal with the challenges that are associated with it. This is because of the fact that there are a growing number of solutions that are based on AI. Although the authors of this study begin their investigation from the perspective of software engineering, their ultimate goal is to include and talk about a wide variety of different points of view, all of which will eventually come together to provide a multi-dimensional picture of quality assurance for AI-based systems. While the authors of this study begin their investigation from the perspective of software engineering, their ultimate goal is to include and talk about a wide variety of different points of view. In the first part of this study project, our primary focus is on defining the terminologies related with artificial intelligence quality assurance. In the following section, Section 3, we will discuss the challenges that are involved with QA for AI. In the last part of the inquiry, we will summarize what we found and form our conclusions.
