A computer that receives a set of names of coverage events. The computer creates, by a machine learning-based technique, groups from the set of received names of the coverage events based on the set of names of the coverage events. The computer generates a cross product coverage model from the created groups and identifies subgroups of uncovered events for each of the created groups.

Coverage analysis with event clustering

An example system includes a processor to receive a template-aware coverage data that tracks probabilities of events in a list of events being hit for a set of test-templates over a first and second predetermined period of time. The processor is to generate a hit prediction score for each combination of unhit event in the events and each test-template in the set of test-templates of the second predetermined period of time. The hit prediction score indicates a probability of an unhit event being hit by a particular test-template in a future third predetermined period of time based on the template-aware coverage data and similarities between the events and the test-templates. The processor is to generate a template score for each test-template based on the hit prediction scores for each test-template. The processor is to select a test-template from the set of test-templates based on the template score.

Selecting test-templates using template-aware coverage data

A method, apparatus and product for testing a system under development. The method comprises obtaining information including a current version of a code, and predicting that a subset of code elements from the current version of the code are bug-prone elements. The method comprises determining one or more coverage events corresponding to the bug-prone elements. The method further comprises determining a testing policy based on the one or more coverage events that correspond to the bug-prone elements, wherein the testing policy is determined based on a statistical analysis of coverage likelihood of tests generated based on a test template for each coverage event of the one or more coverage events. The method further comprises implementing the testing policy.
