Abstract
Software testing is essential, but expensive, especially for significant issues, feature-rich systems such as telecommunication systems evolving toward 5G and beyond. There is a need in this domain for effective testing techniques to ensure that a minimal number of test cases assess the most important combinations of system functions with respect to domain-specific criteria.Our approach aims to address this challenge by first automatically mapping existing test cases to the combinations of system capabilities they exercise and visualizing the mappings using decision tree learners. Then, the approach uses a combination of the engineers’ feedback (domain-specific criteria), mapping data, and test execution logs to propose new test cases covering newly-added capabilities or better exercising/verifying existing ones while ensuring the efficacy at fault detection, code coverage, equipment cost, test execution time, redundancy avoidance, among other things.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
