Course description
Learn how to apply AI across the full Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) cycle — from analyzing requirements to reviewing automation code. This hands-on course walks SDETs and QA engineers through practical, AI-assisted techniques for every stage of the testing workflow, using real Jest examples to show the test-first cycle in action.
What you'll learn:
- How to use AI to review pull requests, summarize code changes, and identify testing gaps
- How to assess testability and map test coverage against a testing model
- The fundamentals of ATDD — what it is, who's involved, and how the process works
- How to use AI to strengthen requirements, uncover edge cases, and write Gherkin acceptance criteria
- How to scaffold acceptance tests with AI and behavior-driven development (BDD)
- How to close the ATDD loop with AI-generated unit tests (with worked Jest examples)
- How to use AI for automation code reviews — spotting inconsistencies and applying best practices
- How AI fits into the daily workflow of a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)
This course and its certificate of completion are 100% free.
