From Sledgehammer to Fine Brush for QA
summary
Progressive QA strategy that moves from brute force to targeted checks with concrete outcomes: built a community-driven AQUA (AdoptOpenJDK → Eclipse Adoptium) test program with a three-layer cake architecture (CLI prototype for laptop runs, CI integration, and long-term analytics), a TRSS test results summary service for triage and historical performance comparisons, experiments in change-based testing and deep-learning defect prediction, support for external app suites and reproducible test material, and three-and-a-half years of iterative refinement showing the approach works.
