Abstract: Restricting use of a selected input in recovery from system failures. A testing system obtains, based on failure of a system, an indication of one or more tasks to be performed. The testing system automatically determines whether a user is to perform one or more actions to alter execution of the one or more tasks. The automatically determining is based on an indication of whether a knowledge transfer score of the user meets at least one predefined criterion. Based on knowledge transfer score meeting the at least one predefined criterion, the one or more actions are performed.

Abstract: A cognitive test advisor facility is provided to identify repair action recommendations. The facility receives a user input regarding a test failure, and generates an expanded search input by identifying additional, alternative words for the user input. A database(s) is searched for test failure records relevant to keywords of the expanded search input, and relevant test failure records are prioritized using a relationship strength score based, at least in part, on relationship of the test failure records to the expanded search input. The facility detects test failure records from the searching having a relationship strength score higher than a threshold value, and analyzes the detected test failure records to identify potential test repair actions. Based on the analyzing, the facility generates a solution priority list including one or more suggested test repair actions for the test failure, and provides the solution priority list to the user.
