HALF-DAY WORKSHOP

Automating Test Design with a Little Help from Generative AI

Rob Sabourin has spent over four decades pioneering automated test design across a wide range of technology stacks. More recently, he’s been exploring the power, promise and occasional perversity – of applying Generative AI to the challenges of test design.

In this lively and hands-on workshop, Rob shares practical lessons from his experience using Generative AI to address real-world testing problems. From success stories and failures to unexpected surprises, he offers a candid look at what works, what doesn’t, and why. You will explore a variety of proven test design techniques, including: combinations, permutations, selections, path analysis, pairwise analysis, decision tables, data validation, checksumming, and randomizing. The workshop includes several collaborative test design exercises using the community edition of ChatGPT, along with Python, PICT, and Excel.
