Rapid Testing Using Cognitive Computing, Predictive Engineering and Machine Learning

Introduction

According to Lars-Ola, (2015), rapid testing can be defined as a way to have thorough

methods of testing scaled to fit a compressed schedule arbitrarily. Rapid testing is not only

applicable in the IT and engineering sectors but also, in medicinal fields, the rapid test is used as

a diagnostic test that is both easy and quick to perform. Cognitive computing is defined as the

process of human simulation through the computerized model. It involves systems of self-

learning that use natural language processing, data mining and pattern recognition to have the

human brain mimicked on how it works (Brian, 2017). The goal of applying cognitive computing

is to have automated IT systems created that solve problems independently without human

assistance. Predictive Engineering Analytics (PEA) is an approach to development for the

industry of manufacturing that assists with the complex product's design such as products related

to smart systems. Machine learning is an Artificial Intelligent (AI) application that provides

systems with automatic learning capabilities and improvement from experience by avoiding

being programmed explicitly.

Abdul and Sajna (2015), recognize that rapid testing using cognitive computing is a

system that has not only changed the world today but also, its application has changed the entire

industries by seeing things and acquiring insights that are new in different fields. In IT, rapid

testing using cognitive computing is conducted by the relevant programmed computer system to

specifically assist the human brain to easily solve problems independently and accurately without

their contribution. In production companies such as gas and oils companies, cognitive computing

is used to prevent accidents by accurately ensuring that drilling is done in the right places (Brian,

2017). Also, it is used to assist with optimization flow in activities that include pumping to

control the operation. Other than healthcare, energy production companies, and the Information
 2
Technology (IT) industry, cognitive computing is also applied in the security system of both

public and private sectors as a means of protecting data to minimize cyber attacks, including

transport systems where internet provision is cognitively installed in some areas. The essence of

cognitive computing systems includes learning data at scale, reasoning to take action with a goal

and learning at scale for a business or a solution.

Rapid testing using machine learning also involves artificial intelligence as it is fully

independent. Machine learning and artificial intelligence use regression clustering, classification

and datasets associations to achieve the production of useful insights in real time and actionable

intelligence also, in real time. Machine learning algorithms are used in the AI to consistently

learn and observe guide learning or supervision to have unsupervised learning and set goals

achieved. The major outcomes from these activities are a stream which is continuous of new

insights and learning (Abdul & Sajna, 2015).

According to Ambler (2014), as compared to human and machine learning outcomes,

results indicate that humans have ties to their different designs, common sense, compassion,

intuition and value judgment as machines are rich with deep learning, fact-checking, discovery,

large-scale math and total or instant recall. Machine learning has led to the development of many

tools of voice recognition, image processing including tools of buying optimization.

Rapid testing using predictive engineering is applied to achieve the predictive quality

analytics process as this is a process of having useful insights successfully extracted from various

sources such as test data by the application of machine learning and statistical algorithms. The

major purpose of this process is to have patterns predicted and determined for future trends and

outcomes. The practice which is data driven is applied to predict error categories, bottlenecks

and production delays across testing projects including failures that occur. Functions involved in
 3
rapid testing using predictive engineering include machine learning, regression algorithms and

the analysis of time series (Addison, 2016).

Conclusion

Rapid testing can be defined as a way to have thorough methods of testing scaled to fit a

compressed schedule arbitrarily. Cognitive computing is defined as the process of human

simulation through the computerized model. It involves systems of self-learning that use natural

language processing, data mining and pattern recognition to have the human brain mimicked on

public and private sectors as a means of protecting data to minimize cyber attacks, including

transport systems where internet provision is cognitively installed in some areas. Rapid testing

using machine learning also involves artificial intelligence as it is fully independent. Machine

learning is an Artificial Intelligent (AI) application that provides systems with automatic learning

capabilities and improvement from experience by avoiding being programmed explicitly. Rapid

testing using predictive engineering is applied to achieve the predictive quality analytics process

as this is a process of having useful insights successfully extracted from various sources such as
