Master Thesis: AI-driven Test Failure Root Cause Analysis New

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

Software testing is a cornerstone of high-quality software delivery. However, test failures, especially those without clear root causes, lead to productivity loss, slow release cycles, and unreliable systems. This thesis investigates the use of Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze test failures and provide root cause insights across various testing stages (unit, integration, system), using data already collected from CI/CD pipelines and stored in S3.

What you will do:

This thesis project revolves around building a Test Failure Root Cause Assistant powered by:

Existing CI test data (stored in AWS S3)

Large Language Models like LLaMA-3, Mistral, or GPT variants

Metadata & features such as commit frequency, test flakiness, smell types, test suite duration, and build environment

Engineer features across multiple test levels (unit/integration/system).

Train models to classify test failures or recommend root causes.

The skills you bring:

Master´s student in computer science, computer engineering, or similar.

Background in software testing and AI/ML is preferred.
