AI-based Test Data Generation Challenge By Inder P SinghChallenge

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 con

Prompting Challenge by Rahul ParwalChallenge

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 to p
