Predictive Test Case Analysis using Splunk MLTK

Abstract

Predictive test case analysis using Splunk MLTK is a web-based application that helps one to predict the behaviour of a test case on a particular platform i.e. whether the test case will pass/fail when executed on a particular platform as well as to look at the behaviour of test cases executed in past that cater to the different needs of the user. There are hundreds of test cases that are being executed today in Intel on several different platforms. At present, if anyone wants to know the behaviour of a test case prior to its execution on any platform, he/she has to manually go through the past result reports. To eradicate this, this application brings together all the required details from the database and the user can simply predict the behaviour of a test case on a platform by selecting some values in a form. Moreover it provides an intuitive interface to easily look for the behaviour of a test case executed in past to be filtered by platform, test case, date range, etc. Apart from this a user can also search for a test case based on the specific status (i.e. pass/fail) of a test case or just based on a test case name. Also the overall count of test cases executed till date can be found. In this way, the application brings significant advantage in reducing the efforts of execution by not executing the test cases that are likely to fail on a platform and also reducing the manual work required to search the behaviour of test cases executed in past.
