Duration: 2 Days Instructor-led

Overview 

The future of software testing lies at the intersection of human ingenuity and technological leverage. Our AI for Software Testing course is an immersive and interactive journey to prepare experienced software testing professionals for the AI-empowered future. Through hands-on exercises with leading AI agents and tools, gain first-hand experience generating key artifacts from system test plans to individual test cases. AI can automate the boring and repetitive work of generating test cases, but it can do much more. You will learn how to use AI to evaluate existing tests, structure systems for more effective testing, interpret results, and maintain traceability from requirements to tests. Whilst balancing AI’s power to create testing artifacts with human judgment, you will discover how AI can help streamline the testing process through increased test automation.
