In an embodiment, a system receives as an input multiple test cases of a test suite, where each test case is specified associated with a case identifier, a version number of the test case, a requirement identifier, and a last run status. The system then predicts a set of test cases expected to fail in a next run of the test suite by providing the input to a model implementing machine learning (ML). According to another aspect, the system also predicts a count of defects expected for each requirement in the next run and a severity for each defect.
