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. As users quickly find out, AI tools are not infallible; they can make mistakes, display overconfidence, and lack critical questioning. The reality of the market is that AI is prone to error. This is exactly why testing AI is crucial. But how do we test AI?

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.

Unleashing the Power of Digital Assurance in the Age of AI and Gen AI: Charting the Way Forward

In the pursuit of excellence, Quality Assurance (QA) has embarked on a profound journey of automation. Beginning with manual testing as its foundation, QA has progressed steadily through functional automation and smart automation, culminating in its embrace of Intelligent automation and Codeless automation. This evolution mirrors our transition from traditional waterfall models to agile methodologies.

Maximizing Software Quality Through Comprehensive Test Coverage Techniques

In a world where digital innovation propels us forward, the stakes for software development have never been higher. Quality and reliability are the twin pillars upon which the reputation and success of software are built. Yet, as the complexity of software systems escalates and development cycles accelerate, ensuring software quality through meticulous testing has become quite a challenge.

Top 5 BrowserStack Alternatives in 2024

BrowserStack is a popular web and mobile testing platform. While the cross-browser testing tool has been the go-to for Quality Assurance (QA) teams and product managers since 2011, many are now turning to other solutions to simplify and automate their testing processes.

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…

What Does Testing a Generative UI Look Like?

Imagine a world where every piece of digital content can be verified and traced back to its source. Lindsay Walker, Product Lead at Starling Lab for Data Integrity, walks us through the emerging tools that could make this possible. While AI tools hold incredible potential for good, Lindsay also warns against threats and countermeasures needed to keep our virtual representations safe. She emphasizes the need to build provenance into tools, discusses blockchain use cases, and shares systems that implement hashes for security.
