This story is part of an ongoing series in which we highlight graduates of Capital One's Machine Learning Engineering Training Program (MLETP), a 160-hour program that teaches software and data engineers the skills necessary to work in machine learning and AI. Pradeep picked up the value of continuous learning from his mother, who earned multiple master's degrees and a Ph.D. in education. So after becoming a software engineer at Capital One in 2017, he was quick to embed himself in our culture of growth and development. Pradeep followed his curiosity and began developing skills in machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence that can automatically predict outcomes. Capital One uses machine learning to create real-time and intelligent customer experiences that bring simplicity to banking.

Soundararajan also shares two questions that testers should always ask themselves when working to make informed decisions that impact both their customers and the business.

Noel: So when I think of AI and machine learning in the software testing industry, I envision people using it to take care of things the same way we think about test automation: something we use for functional testing. But when I read a blog you wrote, titled, "AI-driven Functional Testing," it got into how we might also be able to use AI for exploratory testing, which I had not seen anyone write or talk about before. I'm really curious about the word "driven" in that title and wanted to get you to maybe expand a bit on how AI can be used to not just "aid" your functional test efforts, but really "drive" them.
