Machine Learning Is Being Used To Automatically Test New Software

Izzy Azeri and Dan Belcher got together to develop Stack driver a few years ago. Stack driver was a cloud monitoring solution and it was acquired by Google in 2014. While working with Google, integrating Stack driver with Google’s cloud platform, they found that the process of writing new pieces of code and integrating it with an already existing code base has become very fast now. However, the bottleneck is the testing part, which makes the entire process slow. This is where they got the idea to automate the testing process, and decided to use machine learning for the same. Mabl After spending sometime at Google, the two got together to found Mabl, a tool based on machine learning which makes functional testing as easy as possible for the developers. Mabl goes through the code and automatically detects which part of the code does what. This means, every time the developers make a minor modification to the code, they don’t have to write extensive tests by hand. Mabl automatica
