Quality Sense

S2E4 - Júlio De Lima - Machine learning to understand performance testing results

In this Quality Sense episode, I had a chat with Júlio de Lima, an engineer at Capco, who recently completed his master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computing (Artificial Intelligence) and also co-founded GaroaQA, a meetup group with four locations across Brazil and over 2,000 members.

Episode Highlights

- The complexity of analyzing the huge amounts of data that software performance tests provide
- Using machine learning to solve data issues by giving meaningful insights about what happened during test execution
- How he used K-means clustering, a machine learning algorithm, to reduce almost 300,000 records to fewer than 1,000 and still get good insights into load testing results
