Harnessing the Power of Human Insights for Artificial Intelligence

6:00PM EST Online Event - Zoom

In an era where technological change is being fueled by artificial intelligence, one thing is apparent - we need software testers now more than ever before. The software testing discipline has long been undervalued, under-appreciated, and at times even misrepresented. That is, until something critical breaks or we need to restore confidence with the client. However, Tariq King believes that the outlook on the testing profession is about to change. With the rise of generative AI, systems have become more adaptive and can therefore only be adequately tested post-deployment, in production or production-like environments.

A lot of development teams write tests to check that their code behaves as intended. However, the quality of these tests is unfortunately often underappreciated.

Yet, teams rely on the results of these tests in their software development lifecycle. Isn't there a better way to get information about the quality of our tests?

In this talk, participants will get a practical introduction to mutation testing and how this technique can be used to get better insight into the quality of their tests. After covering the underlying concepts of mutation testing and how it tries to address the above issues, I will conduct a live demo of mutation testing, covering:
