"Anomaly-based detection" with AI and ML in automated testing means:

1. _Unsupervised learning_: AI and ML algorithms learn patterns in data without prior knowledge of errors.

2. _Outlier detection_: AI and ML identify data points that fall outside expected ranges or patterns.

3. _Novelty detection_: AI and ML detect new, unseen patterns or behaviors that may indicate errors.

4. _Deviation detection_: AI and ML identify deviations from expected norms or baselines.

5. _Statistical process control_: AI and ML apply statistical methods to detect anomalies in data.

6. _Machine learning algorithms_: AI and ML use algorithms like One-Class SVM, Local Outlier Factor (LOF), and Isolation Forest.

7. _Real-time analysis_: AI and ML analyze data in real-time, detecting anomalies as they occur.

8. _Continuous learning_: AI and ML update and refine anomaly detection models based on new data.

By detecting errors through anomaly-based detection, AI and ML in automated testing enable organizations to:

- Identify unknown or unforeseen errors

- Improve error detection accuracy

- Reduce false positives and negatives

- Enhance real-time monitoring and response

- Optimize system performance and reliability
