We’re excited to announce our first AI Testing Vlogathon, and we’re inviting YOU to participate and showcase your creativity and technical prowess! This isn’t just another contest—it’s your chance to connect with fellow innovators, share your expertise, and earn recognition for your work. Oh, and did we mention the prizes? To showcase the power of AI in testing, we’re launching a Vlogathon where you can submit 1-5 minute videos on some thrilling AI testing topics. 💡 Topics to Choose From: 🎥 Test Case Generation: Show how AI creates test cases from simple requirements, like a login form, and covers scenarios like empty fields or invalid inputs. 🎥 Defect Prediction: Use AI to predict high-risk areas in code and demonstrate how it highlights bug-prone modules for better testing focus. 🎥 Automated Test Script Maintenance: Show how AI updates broken test scripts after UI changes, saving time and effort. 🎥 Your Own Topic! Got a unique idea on how AI solves testing challenges? This is yo

This challenge is based on ECommerce test data because most of us SDETs should be familiar with E-commerce transactions (as customers). The given test dataset has customer details, product information, and e-commerce transactions. This dataset has multiple layers of relationships, data variety (such as customer tiers, product categories and payment statuses), and time-series data (such as customer signup dates and order dates). This data avoids personally identifiable information and is able to support multiple runs of realistic e-commerce automated scripted tests. What is the challenge’s goal? The goal of this challenge is for you to generate a larger synthetic dataset using AI techniques (for example generative AI or an AI model) or software scripting, while maintaining the relationships of the given original dataset. Your larger dataset should have the same schema (structure) as the original dataset. It should continue to have privacy (no personally identifiable information), data c

Hello, testers! This is a fun learning challenge for you to apply the learnings on prompting and prompt engineering. For this challenge, you will have to trick Gandalf (An AI Bot) into revealing secret information – specifically, the password for each level. However, the trick is that Gandalf will also level up like you and become more resistant to giving away the password as you progress! Here’s how you can approach this challenge: Visit the Gandalf Website : Go to the Gandalf Challenge website and start your adventure. Understand Prompt Injection : The challenge models a real-world problem faced by large language models (LLMs) called prompt injection. Similar to SQL injection attacks, prompt injection occurs when user input (the “data”) mixes with the model’s instructions (the “code”), allowing attackers to manipulate the system. Unlike SQL, LLMs work with natural language, making it challenging to escape input properly. Learn about the LLM Defence Team : Gandalf has set up defenses
