This advanced course guides learners through testing and debugging Java-based ML pipelines using professional-grade tools and CI/CD workflows. You’ll write robust unit and integration tests for core ML components like EntropyCalculator and Normalizer, apply Mockito to mock file I/O, and increase test coverage from 62% to 85%. Learners will trace intermittent pipeline failures, diagnose random seed issues, and implement reproducibility (new Random(42)) to ensure stability across multiple runs. The course concludes with CI-based automation using JUnit, Tribuo, and GitHub Actions, preparing participants for real-world ML testing and DevOps environments.

This module teaches learners how to identify and fix flaky or unstable machine-learning tests that behave unpredictably across runs. Learners will examine the root causes of nondeterministic behavior—such as random initialization, concurrency, and dependency issues—using CI logs and structured debugging techniques. Through interactive case discussions, practical videos, and a guided hands-on lab, learners apply reproducibility controls like fixed seeds and controlled data ordering to ensure stable, deterministic results across multiple test executions.
