MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUE TO DIAGNOSE SOFTWARE CRASHES

Abstract:

A method includes receiving a crash signature and a crash configuration. The crash signature is generated in response to a software crash in a software application caused by the crash configuration. The method also includes applying a first machine learning model to determine a reference of a plurality of references that is closest to the crash signature and the crash configuration. The reference includes a reference crash signature and a reference configuration. The reference crash signature and the reference configuration are generated by a proxy crash to the software crash. The proxy crash was generated prior to the software crash by executing a modified test case against the software application
