Hello Sergei and all, I started preparing a proposal for the project "Statistically optimize mysql-test runs by running less tests". I have a small draft that seems complete without entering any technical details. I am also taking a look at research on the field. Any suggestions on papers are appreciated.
Here is the proposal: draft of the proposal<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vfwNPO7R6PVdRIgHyn-aaMVZugM7KKf7YVnuqXPWEsM/edit>. All suggestions and comments are welcome, and encouraged. How does it look? : ) Regards Pablo On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 5:53 PM, Sergei Golubchik <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Pablo! > > On Mar 06, Pablo Estrada wrote: > > > > Although I am interested in software development, I am more interested > > in data analysis.
