225: WEKA Machine Learning Automation Testing with Bhavani R

Quotes & Insights from this Test Talk

• What is test management? Test management is an integral part of the software development process which is managing the software testing process. Test management is needed for both manual testings as well as automation testing. In test management, we are doing activities such as test planning, testing estimation and monitoring the team's activities, mentoring the team, different management.
• Test management play a major role in the implementation of this practices. They're helping that test manager or lead and make their job easy. The drawback with the traditional test management tools, they're helpful, but, making and prediction of tasks like test estimation, test coverage of a release, issues prediction, etc.
• I have tried to do that with the help of data mining software, WEKA, for the test coverage prediction. This is an open source tool and it is available with GUI. The algorithms can either be uploaded directly to your dataset or called from Java code. It is developed by the University of Waikato, New Zealand.
• How we build the automation testing strategy is that we will automate that repeated task only and we will split the big taks into smaller task and then do the automation. We use best practices to implement like writing small shell scripts or batch scripts to analyze the logfile to debug the issues
• One thing I am always telling my team is that we should always keep learning and we should never stop learning at all.
