Incorporating AI in Testing at WorkBlog

Before we start, I would like to let you know that a challenge will be coming soon and will be posted here on ShiftSync, where you can participate in it for a chance to win a ShiftSync Giftbox. So stay tuned for that and drop a comment down below if you want to be a frontrunner in the challenge. Now, without further ado, let’s get on with the article. The tech industry has been talking about the applications of AI in testing for the last two decades. The rise of Generative AI brings AI closer to everyday testing tasks and challenges. We stand at the gateway into the future of software testing, a world where AI is a powerful assistant, instead of merely being a buzzword. As an active participant in the testing world, I can foresee AI will transform testing workflows, creating room for creative, efficient, and innovative approaches. In this article, let’s uncover different ways in which AI can be incorporated into testing, both creatively and precisely. Learning The way we learn, and th

I hate JIRA, do you?

JIRA lags, JIRA lies,JIRA makes me want to cry.Click a button—wait and pray,Maybe it will load today.Sprint is stuck, workflow’s dead,Tickets haunt me in my head.Epics, subtasks—what a joke,Burn it all and watch the smoke.But don’t despair, there is a way,To make this pain just go away.I’ve got videos—watch and see,A better world, where JIRA’s free! 🎥🔥Tired of JIRA? Watch my YouTube videos and take back your sanity!https://lnkd.in/eMXVjyN

QA always gets the blame--why?

Ever been in a meeting where a bug was found, and all eyes turned to QA?Imagine a new feature goes live, but a critical bug slips through. Customers start complaining, and suddenly, QA is under fire. But when the team looks deeper, they realize the issue came from unclear requirements and a last-minute code change.QA isn’t the last line of defense—we’re part of the whole development process. If a bug makes it to production, it’s not just a QA failure; it’s a team failure. Instead of pointing fingers, let’s ask: How can we improve collaboration to catch issues early?Have you been in this situation?

Do you do security testing?

"Security testing isn’t just about preventing hacks.It’s about earning trust."(Ever heard of a more important KPI?)Here’s the truth:Most companies only think about security after a breach.By then, it’s too late.Here’s a better approach:1️⃣ Think like an attacker.If you can spot vulnerabilities before they do, you’re already ahead.2️⃣ Make it a habit, not a project.Security testing isn’t a “one and done.” It’s a mindset.3️⃣ Involve your entire team.Your developers, testers, and even marketing teams can play a role in strengthening your defenses.A breach costs more than just money.It costs reputation, customer trust, and sometimes even careers.Here’s my challenge to you:What’s one thing your team can do this week to improve security?Drop your ideas in the comments. Let’s inspire some action.

Webinar recap 🎥 - Is Generative AI taking over Testing?Blog

Below is a recap of our webinar with @dave Colwell, the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning VP at Tricentis. You can view the original in the link below, just be sure that you’re logged in 🙂 Is Generative AI taking over testing? David Colwell webinar recapThe 3 main questions Why do we need AI? How can we use AI? How do we test AI? 1. Why do we need AI? Before we begin, we need to address the idea of the human attention span. Take a moment to consider these facts about attention across various demographics: A human’s attention span, put simply, is not good. It gets even worse when you start putting multiple screens in front of someone, a common scenario for many of us today. We’ve found that the average person can hold roughly 7 pieces of information in their working memory at a time, give or take. With apps like TikTok and other distraction-heavy apps on the rise, this stat doesn’t seem like it’s going to improve any time soon. So how does this relate to AI? Consider w

What are the QA trends that you are seeing right now?

People always make trends posts about 2024 2025 etc and they all have the same trends on them. AI Automation Performance etc …So my questions towards you is what are you seeing right now as a trend? What’s popped up more often?For me it would be A11Y - Accessibility testing, I see more and more people investing into it, many posts of it online. It might just be due to me not having much experience in it compared to other things.What are you spotting?

Could you share your experiences using AI-based tools for automating test maintenance and self-healing scripts? Are there any free solutions that offer these features?

As test suites grow, maintaining automated tests and handling script breakages can become challenging, especially with frequent application updates. I've read about AI-based tools that automate test maintenance and implement self-healing capabilities, which adapt scripts to changes in the UI or functionality.Could you share your experiences using these AI-driven solutions for automating test maintenance? Specifically, I'm curious about:How effective they’ve been in reducing manual intervention for script fixes Any free tools or open-source alternatives you've tried and their limitations How these tools integrate with existing automation frameworksI’d love to hear about any success stories or challenges you’ve faced while using them!

What tools or approaches would you use to simulate simultaneous requests?

You're testing a payment gateway API responsible for handling financial transactions. Its primary function is to ensure that funds are transferred only when the account balance of the user is sufficient. In the test cycle, the following scenario was observed.Two simultaneous requests from two different devices for the same transaction-drawing money, for example, ₹10,000-an API processes both requests, deducting ₹20,000 from the account while it holds only ₹15,000.

What actions do you and your team take when you find a critical bug in production?

It sparked various questions about the process behind what to do with critical production bugs. I’m curious to know: What steps do you take when you discover a critical bug in production?Who owns what and who does what?Who is kept in the loop?What announcements are made?What official documentation supports the process?What’s your experience contributing to disaster recovery processes and documents?What did you learn from the critical bug in production?
