Application testing

Abstract:

The claimed subject matter includes techniques for providing an application testing service with a user interface that enables a user to evaluate performance data for computer implemented decision policies. An example method includes displaying a first reward statistic comprising an actual performance result for a policy implemented by an application. The method also includes obtaining experimental data corresponding to previously implemented policies, computing a second reward statistic for a hypothetical policy using a reward function applied to the experimental data. The method also includes displaying the second reward statistic together with the first reward statistic to enable a user to compare the first reward statistic and the second first reward statistic.
