Moving from “why measure AI tests?” to “How do we measure them?”

In my previous blog post, I laid out why I wanted to evaluate how useful AI could be in my test creation process. I wanted evidence I could use to make informed and defensible decisions about what worked well and conversely what didn’t. As testers we should not run vibes, we should work on evidence.Continue reading “Moving from “why measure AI tests?” to “How do we measure them?””

Why We Measured AI Instead of Trusting It

Generating test cases with AI was easy. Working out whether they added value was much harder. This blog series grew out of a conference presentation exploring how AI-generated UAT test cases could be evaluated through evidence rather than assumptions. Where we started AI is everywhere. We’re told AI will revolutionise everything bringing unparalleled efficiency andContinue reading “Why We Measured AI Instead of Trusting It”

SNAFU, FUBAR and Clusterfudge

Software projects don’t always deliver on time or deliver what’s wanted; according to the Standish Group only 31% of software projects are successful, and of these successful projects only 46% return high value… Fundamentally testing as an activity is about finding and preventing problems that will affect the quality of what you’re delivering. This isn’tContinue reading “SNAFU, FUBAR and Clusterfudge”

Shifting Quality Left with Fagan Inspections

At recent test conferences it seems one of the phrases of the moment is “Shifting Quality Left”. If you test as early as possible bugs are found when they are easier and cheaper to fix. Ideally catch them those you can before coding even starts! Possibly because the industry has pivoted towards Agile one methodContinue reading “Shifting Quality Left with Fagan Inspections”
