JMeter JMesPath Extractor

Extracting values from server responses is a common operation in scripting scenarios for performance testing. In most cases it is a mandatory step in order to reproduce realistic traffic using dynamic values generated on server side like sessionIds or Tokens. The most known way to extract values is using regular expression. While regular expressions are efficient for raw text-based responses, they are less efficient for structured responses like XML or JSON.

Testing generative AI systems and red teaming: An introductory guide

The topic of testing AI and ensuring its responsibility, safety, and security has never been more urgent. Controversy and incidents of AI misuse have increased 26-fold since 2021, highlighting growing concerns.

This is exactly why testing AI is crucial. But how do we test AI?

Write Clean And Efficient Table Driven Unit Tests In Go

Table driven tests, also known as parameterized tests, have became very popular over the past few years, due to their ability to eliminate repetition. Table driven tests make it quite a bit easier to re-use the same values for different sets of tests by just moving the table outside of the scope of the test function. Different tests may benefit from the same input, and each test may have completely different configration, concurrency etc…
