HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING OF TEST CASES FOR USE IN GENERATING TESTING PLANS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17735223 Titled 'HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING OF TEST CASES FOR USE IN GENERATING TESTING PLANS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSETS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an apparatus that uses machine learning algorithms to analyze testing logs generated from executing test cases on information technology assets. The apparatus parses the logs to create templates for testing actions and generates vector representations of the test cases using these templates. It then performs hierarchical clustering on the test cases using machine learning algorithms and generates testing plans based on the clustering results for a specific information technology asset.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to obtain testing logs generated by executing test cases on information technology assets of an information technology infrastructure, to parse the testing logs to generate a set of log event templates for testing actions performed during execution of the test cases on the information technology assets of the information technology infrastructure, to generate vector representations of the test cases utilizing the generated set of log event templates, and to perform, utilizing one or more machine learning-based hierarchical clustering algorithms that take as input the generated vector representations of the test cases, hierarchical clustering of the plurality of test cases. The processing device is also configured to generate, based at least in part on the hierarchical clustering results, testing plans for a given information technology asset of the information technology infrastructure.
