A machine learning mechanism may be used to predict a popularity of a software product, classify the application into a category relating to whether a potential anomaly is identified for the software product, and determine whether to test the software product. A score may also be calculated for the software products that indicates whether or not to test the software product. The predicted popularity, the classification and/or the score may be used to determine whether to perform further analysis or testing with regard to a software product. For instance, the score may be used to determine that the software product is to be tested by a testing service.
