Catching Bugs Without Really Trying

Finding and fixing bugs is critical to delivering quality software. One-time new bugs are often introduced into a system when changes are uploaded to a software repository. Changes may be due to adding new features or possibly correcting existing bugs. Mozilla is planning on taking advantage of research being done by Ubisoft using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automatically catch software bugs when source code is committed to a software repository. The software is called CLEVER for Combining Levels of Bug Prevention and Resolution techniques.
