Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating test cases for testing software. Log files are analyzed for indications of software defects resulting in software errors. For those log files that were found to indicate software errors, such log files are analyzed to determine if they contain personal data that needs to be anonymized based on an entropy score of the personal data. When the entropy score of the personal data is below a threshold value, anonymized variations of the personal data are generated. Trace logs are then created containing the anonymized variations of the personal data, which are returned to a software tester to create a test case for testing software using the created trace logs without having access to personal data. In this manner, the software tester may reproduce the software errors without having access to the personal data.

Abstract: The present disclosure is for systems and methods for connecting offline machine learning training systems with online near-real time machine learning scoring systems. It is not trivial to connect an offline training environment with an online scoring environment. For example, offline training environments are usually static and contain large amounts of historical data that is needed for the initial training of models. Once trained, the model algorithms are then migrated into an online scoring environment for transactional or event based scoring. This migration effectively breaks the connection between the data in the offline environment and the model now running in the online environment. When new or shifting data occurs in the online environment, the static model running in the online environment goes unaltered to the changing inputs. The present disclosure solves the issues that are caused by the break in the offline and online environments.
