Writing Better Java Unit Tests with AI

The next Oxford Artificial Intelligence Meetup is a presentation from Peter Schrammel, CTO and Co-Founder at Diffblue, on "Writing Better Java Unit Tests with AI".

Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo uses reinforcement learning to find the best moves in the game of Go, well enough to beat world-class Go masters. In Go there are more possible moves than atoms in the known universe, which means traditional algorithms won’t work. In this talk we’ll look at how reinforcement learning’s probabilistic search finds winning solutions not only in this situation, but how it can also be applied to writing code. Diffblue Cover works by finding unit tests that highlight bugs and regressions in the behaviour of your Java code over time. You will learn how automated unit test creation is used during development and can be integrated into continuous integration pipelines. There will also be a short demonstration.
