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.

Importance of Design Patterns in #TestAutomation Frameworks | Raneesh Choudhary | #AutomationTesting

In this session, Raneesh Choudhary delves into the crucial role of design patterns in test automation frameworks in this engaging presentation. Discover why testers need to enhance their coding skills and become proficient in programming. Explore the significance of design patterns within the context of test automation frameworks and understand the distinctions between custom frameworks, low-code tools, and Selenium wrappers.

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.

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.

Gittogether | How to stay technical as an Engineering leader | Robin Gupta

"Every engineer hits the fork in the road in their career, deciding whether to grow as an engineering manager or an architect. The dangling question is: ""How will I keep my technical skills sharp?"" This was the predicament I faced as I transitioned from a Tech Lead to a Senior Management role. My solution? Open source.

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…

#RootCauseAnalysis in #SoftwareTesting | Importance of RCA & Why Do You Need It? | Craig Risi

In this session, Craig Risi explores the importance of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in software testing. He shares what RCA is and why it's essential for identifying and addressing underlying issues in your testing process. Learn effective strategies for conducting RCA triage, implementing adequate mitigations, and classifying root causes to improve your testing outcomes.
