RealTime Defects Categorization using ML/AI

AI is significantly transforming the field of software testing, offering new tools and methodologies to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and scope of testing activities. Triaging defects, determining their root causes, prioritizing them, and assigning them to the appropriate technical team is a time-consuming process that can be automated for real time action using AI.

Urgent production incidents occur, often critical and requiring swift intervention. QA must first carefully analyze the issue, putting in a significant amount of manual effort to pinpoint the root cause, assign the correct priority, and determine if it’s a defect, an enhancement, or a task.

I am introducing an ML/AI solution that utilizes Image Classification with TensorFlow and Keras, along with Natural Language Processing (NLP), to automatically categorize production issues. This approach significantly reduces the manual efforts required by QA, allowing for a quicker initiation of issue resolution for business users. Additionally, I will present how AI can be used to generate testing KPIs and metrics, which can be leveraged by business leaders and senior management for strategic planning and decision-making.
