Conventional manual testing and script-based automated testing approaches often struggle to keep pace with these dynamic environments due to the significant effort required for test case creation, maintenance, and validation. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Large Language Models (LLMs) have introduced new opportunities for intelligent software test generation by automatically interpreting software requirements, source code, API documentation, and design specifications. However, enterprise adoption of LLM-assisted software testing remains limited because of concerns regarding data privacy, hallucinations, insecure code generation, intellectual property leakage, regulatory compliance, prompt injection attacks, and lack of explainability. This research proposes a Secure LLMAssisted Test Case Generation Framework for enterprise software development pipelines that integrates Large Language Models with secure software engineering practices, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), software requirement repositories, secure prompt engineering, policy enforcement, access control, and explainable artificial intelligence. The proposed framework retrieves relevant Software Requirement Specifications (SRS), user stories, API documentation, software architecture documents, historical test repositories, coding standards, and organizational security policies from enterprise knowledge bases before generating software test cases. Secure retri…

type: item
description: The increasing complexity of modern software systems and the widespread adoption of Agile, DevOps, and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices have significantly increased the demand for intelligent and autonomous software quality assurance solutions. Conventional software testing approaches rely heavily on manually designed test cases, predefined automation scripts, and human intervention for defect validation, resulting in increased testing effort, longer release cycles, and higher maintenance costs. Recent advances in Agentic Artificial Intelligence (Agentic AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), autonomous reasoning, and multi-agent systems provide new opportunities for developing intelligent software testing environments capable of independently planning, executing, validating, and optimizing software testing activities. This research proposes a comprehensive Agentic AI framework for autonomous software testing and defect validation that integrates intelligent software agents, Large Language Models, RetrievalAugmented Generation (RAG), software repository analysis, automated reasoning, continuous learning, and DevOps pipelines within a unified software quality assurance architecture. The proposed framework autonomously analyzes software requirements, source code, user stories, application programming interfaces, execution logs, and historical defect repositories to generate testing strategies, create executable test scripts, execute automated validation, identify software defects, verify defect resolution, and continuously improve testing performance through adaptive learning. Multiple intelligent agents collaborate to perform requirement analysis, test planning, test generation, test execution, defect classification, defect validation, root-cause analysis, reporting, and continuous optimization with minimal human intervention. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed Agentic AI framework achieves autonomous testing accuracy exc…

RETRIEVAL-AUGMENTED TEST AUTOMATION USING LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT KNOWLEDGE
type: item
description: Software testing is a critical phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) that ensures software reliability, functionality, security, and overall quality before deployment. As software systems become increasingly complex and requirements evolve rapidly within Agile and DevOps environments, conventional manual testing and rule-based automated testing techniques often struggle to generate accurate, maintainable, and comprehensive test cases. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Large Language Models (LLMs) have introduced new opportunities for intelligent software test automation by enabling automated understanding of software requirements, generation of test scenarios, and adaptive test execution. However, standalone LLMs frequently suffer from hallucination, outdated knowledge, limited project-specific context, and inconsistent interpretation of software requirements, reducing their reliability for industrial software testing. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as an effective solution by combining the reasoning capabilities of LLMs with external knowledge retrieval mechanisms, allowing models to access accurate and project-specific requirement information during test generation. This research proposes a RetrievalAugmented Test Automation framework that integrates Large Language Models with software requirement knowledge repositories to generate intelligent, accurate, and contextaware software test cases. The proposed framework combines Software Requirement Specifications (SRS), user stories, functional requirements, use case documents, API documentation, design specifications, historical defect reports, test repositories, and domain knowledge into a centralized knowledge base indexed using vector embeddings. User queries and testing requests are transformed into semantic embeddings and matched with the most relevant requirement documents using similarity search techniques. The retrieved conte…

LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL-BASED AUTOMATED TESTSCRIPT GENERATION FOR CONTINUOUS SOFTWAREQUALITY ASSURANCE
type: item
description: Continuous Software Quality Assurance (CSQA) has become an essential practice in modern software engineering due to the rapid adoption of Agile, DevOps, and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) methodologies. The increasing complexity of software applications and the demand for rapid release cycles have exposed the limitations of conventional manual and rule-based automated testing approaches. Developing and maintaining test scripts manually is often labor-intensive, time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale as software requirements evolve. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have introduced new opportunities for automating software testing by generating intelligent, context-aware, and executable test scripts directly from software requirements, user stories, source code, application programming interfaces, and functional specifications. This research proposes a Large Language Modelbased automated test script generation framework for continuous software quality assurance that integrates natural language processing, software repository analysis, prompt engineering, machine learning, DevOps pipelines, and continuous feedback mechanisms within a unified intelligent testing architecture. The proposed framework automatically analyzes software artifacts, extracts testing requirements, generates executable test scripts for multiple testing frameworks, validates generated scripts through static and dynamic analysis, and continuously improves script quality using developer feedback and execution results. Advanced LLMs are combined with retrieval-augmented generation, code analysis, and quality evaluation techniques to produce accurate, maintainable, and reusable test cases for unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, API testing, and user interface testing. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves test script generation accuracy exceeding 97.8%, reduces script development effort by appro…

IOT-ENABLED BATTERY HEALTH AND THERMAL SAFETY MONITORING FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of electric mobility has increased the importance of reliable battery health assessment, thermal safety monitoring, predictive fault detection, and intelligent lifecycle management for electric vehicle energy storage systems. Lithium-ion battery packs operate under continuously changing charging rates, discharge loads, ambient temperatures, driving conditions, state-of-charge levels, aging characteristics, and cell-to-cell variations. Conventional battery monitoring systems primarily depend on embedded threshold rules and local battery management functions, which may provide limited capability for identifying gradual degradation, distributed thermal abnormalities, abnormal cell imbalance, communication failures, and emerging thermal safety risks before critical conditions occur. This paper proposes an IoT-Enabled Battery Health and Thermal Safety Monitoring framework for Electric Vehicles that integrates distributed sensing, battery management system data acquisition, edge preprocessing, secure IoT communication, cloudconnected analytics, machine-learning-based health assessment, thermal anomaly detection, battery state monitoring, predictive degradation analysis, digital battery profiles, secure API lifecycle management, automated model operations, and closed-loop safety decision support. The proposed methodology continuously acquires cell voltage, pack voltage, current, temperature, charging behavior, discharge behavior, thermal gradients, coolingsystem status, ambient conditions, operating load, and historical maintenance information. Edge components perform validation, noise reduction, event detection, and immediate safety screening, while cloud services provide historical analysis, fleet-level comparison, predictive modeling, and long-term degradation intelligence. The framework maintains dynamic battery health profiles that combine current observations with historical charging cycles, thermal exposure, operating conditions, and predicted ri…

HYBRID THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES USING PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS AND INTELLIGENT CONTROL
type: item
description: Lithium-ion batteries are widely employed in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, portable electronics, and highperformance energy applications because of their high energy density, long cycle life, low selfdischarge, and favorable power characteristics. However, battery performance, safety, degradation, and service life are strongly influenced by temperature. Excessive heat generation during high-rate charging, rapid discharging, aggressive driving, elevated ambient temperature, and repeated cycling can produce non-uniform temperature distribution, accelerated aging, capacity loss, internal resistance growth, and increased thermal runaway risk. Conventional air cooling and liquid cooling systems can remove battery heat, but they may introduce parasitic energy consumption, mechanical complexity, pumping requirements, additional weight, and control limitations. Passive phase change material systems can absorb transient heat through latent thermal storage, but their effectiveness can decrease when the material becomes fully melted or when thermal conductivity is insufficient. This paper proposes a hybrid thermal management framework for lithium-ion batteries using phase change materials and intelligent control. The proposed system integrates a phase change material layer, thermally conductive enhancement structures, distributed temperature sensing, battery current and voltage monitoring, ambient-condition assessment, active cooling components, real-time data acquisition, intelligent state classification, predictive temperature analysis, and adaptive cooling control. The framework uses machine learning models including Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, Artificial Neural Network, and Long Short-Term Memory networks to identify thermal states, predict temperature growth, and determine appropriate cooling intensity. The phase change material absorbs transient heat passively, while the intelligent controller activates fans, pumps, or…

DATA-DRIVEN BATTERY TEMPERATURE PREDICTION FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT ELECTRIC MOBILITY SYSTEMS
type: item
description: The rapid adoption of electric mobility has increased the importance of reliable battery thermal monitoring and predictive temperature management because battery temperature directly influences safety, charging performance, energy efficiency, degradation rate, driving range, and operational life. Lithium-ion battery packs operate under highly dynamic conditions involving rapid acceleration, regenerative braking, high-rate charging, variable ambient temperature, traffic congestion, changing state of charge, cell imbalance, and repeated electrochemical cycling. Conventional battery thermal management systems generally depend on measured temperature values, fixed protection thresholds, predefined cooling strategies, and reactive control mechanisms. Such approaches may identify thermal abnormalities only after significant temperature increase has already occurred and may not adequately anticipate future thermal behavior under changing vehicle loads. This paper proposes a data-driven battery temperature prediction framework for safe and efficient electric mobility systems. The proposed methodology integrates distributed battery sensing, Internet of Things connectivity, edge preprocessing, historical thermal data management, multi-sensor data fusion, contextual feature engineering, machinelearning-based temperature forecasting, Digital Twin-assisted battery representation, predictive thermal risk classification, adaptive cooling decision support, secure API interoperability, MLOps lifecycle management, and sustainability-aware cloud processing. Real-time observations involving cell voltage, pack voltage, charging and discharging current, battery temperature, ambient temperature, state of charge, estimated state of health, vehicle speed, acceleration behavior, charging mode, cooling activity, energy consumption, and historical thermal exposure are continuously collected and analyzed. The framework predicts near-future battery temperature trends and identifies emerging over…

INTELLIGENT THERMAL MONITORING AND HEAT REGULATION FRAMEWORK FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY PACKS
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of electric mobility has increased the demand for battery packs capable of supporting high energy density, fast charging, rapid acceleration, regenerative braking, extended driving range, and reliable operation under diverse environmental conditions. Lithium-ion batteries are widely adopted in electric vehicles because of their favorable energy and power characteristics, yet their safety, performance, charging capability, degradation behavior, and service life remain strongly influenced by temperature. Conventional battery thermal management systems frequently depend on fixed temperature thresholds, predefined cooling schedules, limited sensing locations, and reactive control mechanisms that may respond only after significant thermal imbalance has developed. This paper proposes an intelligent thermal monitoring and heat regulation framework for electric vehicle battery packs that integrates distributed thermal sensing, electrical operating data, multi-source data fusion, edgeassisted preprocessing, intelligent thermal state assessment, hotspot identification, predictive risk analytics, adaptive cooling coordination, digital twin-based monitoring, secure API integration, and governed model lifecycle management. The proposed methodology continuously acquires cell and module temperature, ambient temperature, current, voltage, state of charge, charging rate, coolant condition, and vehicle operating context. Sensor observations are validated, synchronized, and transformed into a spatially aware battery thermal representation. Machine learning models classify battery operation into normal, warming, elevated-risk, and critical thermal states while identifying abnormal rates of temperature rise and persistent cell-to-cell temperature differences. An adaptive regulation layer coordinates passive heat spreading, air cooling, liquid cooling, and available thermal control resources according to current and predicted conditions. The framework further maintain…

PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL-BASED BATTERY THERMAL MANAGEMENT FOR ENHANCED ELECTRIC VEHICLE PERFORMANCE
type: item
description: The rapid growth of electric mobility has increased the demand for high-performance, safe, durable, and energy-efficient battery systems capable of operating under highly dynamic charging, discharging, environmental, and driving conditions. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles because of their high energy density, favorable power characteristics, long cycle life, and relatively high efficiency. However, battery performance and safety remain strongly influenced by temperature. Excessive heat accumulation, non-uniform cell temperatures, high charging rates, aggressive acceleration, repeated cycling, and extreme ambient conditions can accelerate degradation, reduce available power, decrease charging efficiency, and increase the risk of severe thermal events. Conventional air- and liquid-based cooling systems provide important thermal control but can introduce auxiliary energy consumption, pumping requirements, packaging complexity, and delayed response to localized heat generation. This paper proposes a Phase Change Material-Based Battery Thermal Management framework for Enhanced Electric Vehicle Performance. The proposed methodology integrates battery sensing, thermal state monitoring, phase change material selection, module-level PCM configuration, passive heat absorption, hybrid active-passive cooling, thermal anomaly detection, battery state estimation, predictive analytics, digital twinassisted monitoring, secure API communication, and continuous operational feedback. The framework exploits the latent heat storage capability of phase change materials to absorb transient battery heat during high-power driving and fast-charging conditions while reducing cellto-cell temperature variation. A hybrid control mechanism coordinates PCM thermal buffering with active cooling when passive capacity becomes insufficient. Multi-source information involving cell temperature, current, voltage, state of charge, state of health, ambient temperature, coolant co…
