Generative AI for Testers

By Rahul Parwal

In this on-demand Generative AI for Testers session, you'll learn how to confidently apply Generative AI in software testing and quality engineering.

TL;DR/Key Takeaways

  • Learn the fundamentals of Generative AI for software testing, including what AI can and cannot do within QA workflows.
  • Understand Large Language Models (LLMs) in practical terms, including tokens, training data, APIs, and how AI-generated outputs are created.
  • Explore a proven GenAI framework for testing that covers:
    • AI as an assistant
    • Experimentation and transformation
    • Coding and test automation
    • Learning and summarization
  • Apply GenAI to:
    • Test case generation
    • Test data creation
    • Requirements reviews
    • Risk identification
    • Bug report authoring
    • Test documentation
  • Improve test automation productivity through AI-assisted code generation, refactoring, debugging, modularization, and rapid prototyping.
  • Master prompt engineering for testers using practical prompting techniques that improve consistency, clarity, and accuracy.
  • Understand how to ground AI responses through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and when to use in-context learning versus fine-tuning.
  • Learn how to evaluate and select the right model based on cost, performance, context window size, relevance, and ecosystem support.
  • Recognize and mitigate common AI risks, including hallucinations, bias, context loss, and reliability challenges.
  • Gain hands-on experience with modern AI workflows, including text-to-visual generation, tool discovery, multi-model environments, and local AI solutions.
  • Follow AI safety and responsible usage practices, including data privacy considerations and protecting sensitive company information.
  • Demonstrate business impact by measuring productivity gains, quality improvements, and team adoption outcomes.

About This Session
