AI and software testing A4Q

AI and software testing A4Q

Take AI into software testing

The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) dates back to the 1950s and refers to the objective of building and programming “intelligent” machines capable of imitating human beings. Basically, Artificial Intelligence aims to mimic human intelligence. As AI systems become more human, they become less predictable, and there are unique problems and quality characteristics, which need to be considered when testing such systems.

During this course, you first learn the key aspects of AI, including history of AI and limits related to it. Then you start focusing on testing AI systems, including different strategies and metrics for Testing AI Systems as well as the general problems that typically occur during AI testing. Finally, you look at different ways of using AI to support testing and how to apply AI to testing tasks and quality management.

Target audience for this training:
Software testers & engineers, usability designers, designers. Anyone involved or interested in understanding AI in software testing. Managers seeking to understand how AI can add value in their organization. Business Analysts working seeking to understand the value of AI to the business.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for participating in the course or taking the A4Q AI and Software Testing Exam.

Exam: After the course, you can take the A4Q AI and Software Testing Foundation certification exam. The exam is organized separately.
