The following are the advantages of cognitive systems in context of testing:

  • Adaptive: Cognitive testing is adaptive, as it enables system to learn as information changes, and as goals and requirements evolve. For instance, based on the quality of code and changes in requirements, the system can suggest number of test iterations and decision on when to stop testing.

  • Interactive: The system interacts easily with users so that the users can define their test requirements easily. They may also interact with other processors, IoT devices, and cloud services, as well as with people.

  • Iterative and stateful: This feature helps the system remember previous interactions and returns suitable information for the specific application at a specific point in time. The testing...
