Defect recreation
An information handling system may include at least one processor and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions thereon that are executable by the at least one processor for: receiving information regarding a software defect, wherein the information regarding the software defect includes a description of one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect; determining a plurality of keywords based on the description of the one or more steps; and accessing a database to determine one or more executable commands corresponding to each of the one or more steps.
1. An information handling system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions thereon that are executable by the at least one processor for:
receiving information regarding a software defect, wherein the information regarding the software defect includes environment information indicative of an environment associated with an occurrence of the defect and a description of one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect, and wherein the defect is an intermittent defect that does not occur reliably;
determining a plurality of keywords based on the environment information and the description of the one or more steps;
accessing a database to determine one or more executable commands corresponding to each of the one or more steps;
generating an executable script based on the one or more executable commands, wherein the executable script is configured to re-create the environment associated with the occurrence of the defect and the one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect to reproduce the defect;
receiving information regarding a user-selectable number of iterations for reproduction of intermittent defects; and
executing the executable script repeatedly for the user-selectable number of iterations to reproduce the intermittent defect.
2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the software defect is a defect ticket of a defect tracking system.
3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of keywords comprises performing natural language processing (NLP).
4. The information handling system of claim 3 , wherein performing the NLP further comprises determining a synonym for at least one of the keywords.
5. A method comprising:
an information handling system receiving information regarding a software defect, wherein the information regarding the software defect includes environment information indicative of an environment associated with an occurrence of the defect and a description of one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect, and wherein the defect is an intermittent defect that does not occur reliably;
the information handling system determining a plurality of keywords based on the environment information and the description of the one or more steps;
the information handling system accessing a database to determine one or more executable commands corresponding to each of the one or more steps;
the information handling system generating an executable script based on the one or more executable commands, wherein the executable script is configured to re-create the environment associated with the occurrence of the defect and the one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect to reproduce the defect;
receiving information regarding a user-selectable number of iterations for reproduction of intermittent defects; and
executing the executable script repeatedly for the user-selectable number of iterations to reproduce the intermittent defect.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the information regarding the software defect is a defect ticket of a defect tracking system.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein determining the plurality of keywords comprises performing natural language processing (NLP).
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein performing the NLP further comprises determining a synonym for at least one of the keywords.
9. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by a processor of an information handling system for:
receiving information regarding a software defect, wherein the information regarding the software defect includes environment information indicative of an environment associated with an occurrence of the defect and a description of one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect, and wherein the defect is an intermittent defect that does not occur reliably;
determining a plurality of keywords based on the description of the environment information and the one or more steps;
accessing a database to determine one or more executable commands corresponding to each of the one or more steps;
generating an executable script based on the one or more executable commands, wherein the executable script is configured to re-create the environment associated with the occurrence of the defect and the one or more steps usable to reproduce the defect to reproduce the defect;
receiving information regarding a user-selectable number of iterations for reproduction of intermittent defects; and
executing the executable script repeatedly for the user-selectable number of iterations to reproduce the intermittent defect.
10. The article of claim 9 , wherein the information regarding the software defect is a defect ticket of a defect tracking system.
11. The article of claim 9 , wherein determining the plurality of keywords comprises performing natural language processing (NLP).
12. The article of claim 11 , wherein performing the NLP further comprises determining a synonym for at least one of the keywords.
