Understanding the role of data science in testing
The data science field uses scientific mathematical methods to understand relationships and extract knowledge from data so that we can use this knowledge to our benefit. This, of course, applies to testing. Therefore, mathematics gives us methods that we can use to find relationships between the different data of our system and value performance and other metrics.
In the previous chapter, we discussed how important it is to use metrics and log the right information in our system. Most of this information comes in one way or another from testing. However, even though it is important to extract this information, being able to make sense of it is just as important. This way, we can improve the system and provide better-quality applications to the users.
Your company may have a specialized data scientist that could help you achieve this purpose, but I believe that this is a field you should strive to understand and be comfortable...
