What the service is:
Today, AI is a hot topic, and there's a lot of discussion about AI handling our testing tasks. However, it's challenging to determine if AI can truly perform exploratory testing because this type of testing relies on human judgment and experience. Humans use heuristics (rules of thumb) and oracles (references for expected outcomes) that they create themselves. Only humans can accurately decide if a test result matches what is expected or if the expectations themselves need adjustment. While AI might not fully replace human testers in this context, we can certainly use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies to enhance and support the test engineering process. This includes topics like:
- AI Prompt Engineering which involves creating and optimizing input prompts for AI models to ensure they generate relevant and accurate outputs for testing purposes.
- Unstructured Data Generation through AI APIs which involves using artificial intelligence to create data that doesn’t fit into traditional structured data models. This technique can be used to generate text, images, audio, and other forms of data that are often used for testing purposes, especially in scenarios requiring large and diverse datasets.

Why the service is required:
- Effective prompt engineering is essential for leveraging AI in testing scenarios. Well-crafted prompts can enhance the accuracy and relevance of AI-generated responses, making it easier to identify issues, generate test data, and simulate user interactions. Poorly constructed prompts, on the other hand, can lead to misleading or irrelevant outputs, reducing the efficacy of AI tools in testing.
- Unstructured data is crucial for testing applications that interact with real-world data, such as natural language processing systems, image recognition tools, and multimedia applications. Manually creating this data is time-consuming and often impractical. AI APIs can automate the generation of this data, providing large volumes of varied and realistic data quickly and efficiently. This enhances the testing process by offering richer and more diverse datasets.
