unsupervised learning

🤖 CT-AI

Official ISTQB Definition

A type of machine learning where the model learns patterns from unlabeled data without predefined outputs.

3 Ways to Think About It

💡
The Quick Take

AI that finds patterns without being told what to look for - testing is tricky because there's no 'correct' answer.

🔍
Look Closer

ML that discovers structure in data on its own, requiring testers to validate that found patterns are meaningful.

🎯
The Bottom Line

Systems that cluster or group data without labels, making oracle problems especially challenging.
