For this purpose, an augmented machine learning model predicts a latency of software module with updated code executed in a production environment. In some aspects, the latency is predicted based on a change of deviation that is determined by comparing the latency of the software module with updated code and the latency of the software module without updated code, whereas the software modules are executed in environments different from the production environment.
