🎓 Course Overview: Generative AI for TestersTL;DR/Key TakeawaysLearn Generative AI for software testing fundamentals, including what GenAI can and cannot do in QA workflows. Understand LLMs for testers in plain language, including how models use tokens, training data, and APIs to generate outputs. Apply a practical GenAI framework for QA: assistant, experimentation and transformation, coding and test automation, learning and summarization. Use GenAI for test case generation, test data generation, requirements review, risk identification, bug report writing, and test documentation. Improve test automation productivity with GenAI support for boilerplate code, refactoring, modularization, debugging, and rapid prototyping. Master prompt engineering for testers with proven prompt patterns that improve clarity, accuracy, and repeatability. Learn how to ground answers using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and when to use in-context learning vs fine-tuning. Choose the right model using L

Author: Ujjwal Kumar Singh, Senior QA Engineer · 8+ years in enterprise QA  · beinghumantester.github.ioKey takeawaysAI will not replace testers — but it will make undocumented tester expertise visible and urgent to address There are two types of invisible testing work: genuine professional expertise, and organizational debt carried by people AI test generation tools cannot perform causal reasoning about system failures — this requires human mental models built over years The adaptive capacity testers exercise daily is the most undervalued competency in software engineering Organizations must document risk models and acceptance criteria before AI integration, not after Testers who make their judgment explicit become more valuable as AI capabilities increaseFor years, software teams believed their testing processes were robust. In reality, many were functioning only because testers were quietly compensating for everything the process failed to capture.When a requirement arrived without

At Transform 2026, we’re celebrating the visionaries — pushing boundaries, redefining quality, and accelerating enterprise transformation. The Tricentis Customer Innovation Awards are back to recognize the individuals and teams driving real impact with Tricentis solutions.We’ll be honoring customer champions across three distinct categories:AI TrailblazerRecognizing visionary customers (individuals or teams) who are pioneering innovative applications of AI to drive meaningful impact for software quality. This award celebrates those pushing the boundaries of AI to create transformative solutions and set new standards in quality engineering.Enterprise Transformation LeaderSpotlighting customers (individuals or teams) who have driven successful business transformation by implementing or optimizing core systems and applications to improve operational efficiency and achieve business objectives — including platforms such as SAP and Oracle, as well as other mission-critical systems in regulat

Certification course by Karthik K.K. TL;DR/ Key Takeaway:Learn core AI concepts for QA, including AI, machine learning, and LLMs, so you can apply them confidently in testing workflows.  Master prompt engineering and context engineering to get higher quality, more reliable test outputs from AI tools. Use AI assisted testing to accelerate manual test design by extracting key details from requirements, specs, and meeting artifacts. Understand vibe testing and how AI powered QA engineers orchestrate test design and execution using modern AI tools. Get practical with popular AI tools used in testing and coding workflows, including IDE copilots and CLI assistants. Learn how to generate and improve automation faster, including creating tests, fixing flaky code, and understanding unfamiliar codebases. Use MCP servers with real browsers to generate realistic tests, not hallucinated scripts, across UI, API, database, and BDD workflows. Understand AI agents as the “hands and legs” of LLMs that c

TL;DR:Test management reports fall into two categories: informative (showing current status) and analytic (revealing trends and root causes). To make confident release decisions, focus on coverage heat maps to spot quality gaps, track test execution progress by release and priority, analyze defect patterns by root cause and environment, and establish consistent project structures so reports can scale across your enterprise. The goal isn't perfect data—it's actionable insight when you need to decide whether to ship or hold.The Two Types of Reports That MatterWhen you're staring at a dashboard trying to decide if your release is ready, you need to know what kind of question you're asking. Are you checking current status, or are you diagnosing a problem?Informative reports give you the overview. They show raw data: how many test runs passed, how many defects are open, what your execution progress looks like by day. These reports require minimal configuration. Filter by release or test cyc

Have you already started exploring how AI can transform software testing? We’re excited to announce the AI Testing Customer Innovation Challenge - an opportunity to share your ideas, showcase your work, and shape the future of testing with AI.What’s this challenge about?This challenge invites Tricentis EMEA customers to share how AI can transform testing. Whether through real implementations or bold new ideas.The challenge is simple: submit your idea or use case describing how AI is (or could be) applied in testing — and what impact it can deliver.We welcome both:Real-world implementations → solutions you’ve already built or are working on Forward-looking concepts →  innovative ideas that explore new possibilitiesWhat to include in your submission:A brief description of your idea The problem it addresses How AI is (or could be) used Is it implemented, in progress of a concept for now? The expected or achieved impact  How to participate:Submit your idea (you can submit more than one!) u

We're excited to share the 2026 Tricentis Quality Transformation Report with the ShiftSync community. This is the second annual edition of our research into how organizations are navigating the AI-driven transformation of software delivery, and this year's findings reveal a critical inflection point.We surveyed 2,501 senior IT decision-makers, QA/DevOps professionals, and business leaders across the US, UK, Ireland, Germany, Japan, and Singapore, spanning manufacturing, energy and utilities, retail, financial services, and the public sector. If you're leading quality engineering, DevOps, or software delivery in 2026, this report is essential reading.Learn more with these resources:June 17th Webinar: The trust gap: What 2500+ QA and IT leaders really think about AI and quality Press release: Key findings from the Quality Transformation Report.

MCP Certification course by Karthik K.K. TL;DR/ Key Takeaways:Learn Model Context Protocol (MCP) basics and how MCP connects AI systems to real tools and data sources through a client server architecture. Understand AI agents for QA and how agents enable “act” steps (tool execution) beyond what an LLM can do alone. Set up and use popular MCP clients like Claude Desktop and Visual Studio Code to connect and run MCP servers. Configure MCP servers via client config files and learn the difference between how clients store MCP settings (e.g., client specific JSON configs). Install and run Playwright MCP Server to perform UI automation with plain English instructions (open browser, navigate, click, assert, summarize). Use MCP powered UI testing to execute real workflows like login, create entities, log off, and close browser with AI driven steps and evidence capture. Generate test code and scaffolding automatically (Playwright config, package scripts, TypeScript config, test specs, screensho
