Course Description
This practical, hands-on course is for experienced testers who want to integrate generative AI into real testing work, responsibly and effectively. AI is treated as a collaborator that supports testing judgment, not a substitute for it. Working with a small, realistic application, you will use AI to understand system behavior, generate and refine tests, apply equivalence partitioning and boundary analysis, model states and coverage, explore features, evaluate nonfunctional requirements, write bug reports, and decide what to automate. Throughout, you will examine AI output for assumptions, gaps, and executability, and finish with a plan for bringing AI into your own testing practice.
Learning Objectives
- Use generative AI to explore system behavior when documentation is incomplete
- Identify assumptions, gaps, and invented details in AI-generated tests
- Turn AI test ideas into executable tests with observable outcomes
- Structure tests using partitions, boundaries, state, and sequence
- Evaluate AI-generated nonfunctional test ideas
- Write clearer bug reports and evaluate AI summaries and metrics
- Decide what to automate and what not to automate
