Enhancing Software Quality Assurance with an Adaptive Differential Evolution based Quantum Variational Autoencoder-Transformer Model

An AI-powered quality engineering platform uses artificial intelligence to boost software quality assessments through automated defect prediction and optimized performance alongside improved feature extraction. Existing models result in difficulties addressing noisy data types together with imbalances, pattern recognition complexities, ineffective feature extraction, and generalization weaknesses. To overcome those existing challenges in this research, we develop a new model Adaptive Differential Evolution based Quantum Variational Autoencoder-Transformer Model (ADE-QVAET), that combines a Quantum Variational Autoencoder-Transformer (QVAET) to obtain high-dimensional latent features and maintain sequential dependencies together with contextual relationships, resulting in superior defect prediction accuracy. Adaptive Differential Evolution (ADE) Optimization utilizes an adaptive parameter tuning method that enhances model convergence and predictive performance. ADE-QVAET integrates advanced AI techniques to create a robust solution for scalable and accurate software defect prediction that represents a top-level AI-driven technology for quality engineering applications. The proposed ADE-QVAET model attains high accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score during the training percentage (TP) 90 of 98.08%, 92.45%, 94.67%, and 98.12%.

Privacy is All You Need: Revolutionizing Wearable Health Data with Advanced PETs

In a world where data is the new currency, wearable health devices offer unprecedented insights into daily life, continuously monitoring vital signs and metrics. However, this convenience raises privacy concerns, as these devices collect sensitive data that can be misused or breached. Traditional measures often fail due to real-time data processing needs and limited device power. Users also lack awareness and control over data sharing and usage. We propose a Privacy-Enhancing Technology (PET) framework for wearable devices, integrating federated learning, lightweight cryptographic methods, and selectively deployed blockchain technology. The blockchain acts as a secure ledger triggered only upon data transfer requests, granting users real-time notifications and control. By dismantling data monopolies, this approach returns data sovereignty to individuals. Through real-world applications like secure medical data sharing, privacy-preserving fitness tracking, and continuous health monitoring, our framework reduces privacy risks by up to 70 percent while preserving data utility and performance. This innovation sets a new benchmark for wearable privacy and can scale to broader IoT ecosystems, including smart homes and industry. As data continues to shape our digital landscape, our research underscores the critical need to maintain privacy and user control at the forefront of technological progress.
