The integration of AI into software systems brings new opportunities but also significant challenges – from ensuring reliability and accuracy to addressing ethical concerns. This transformation affects software testers, developers, and quality assurance professionals, who must adapt their skills to work with AI-enabled testing tools and understand the testing processes surrounding AI systems.
On 21 October, as part of the BCS Publishing – Author Webinar Series, Exactpro’s Iosif Itkin, Dmitrii Degtiarenko, Iuliia Emelianova and Anna-Maria Lukina will present a talk on 'Introduction to AI Testing: Guide to ISTQB® CT-AI Certification.‘ The session will explore the challenges enterprises face when adopting AI, discuss how and when to introduce it within an organisation and share strategies for training teams to embrace the change. The title of the talk is eponymous to Exactpro’s new book coming out on 16 September. The talk will also highlight how the book can be leveraged as a practical resource to boost understanding of AI-enabled technologies and encourage further enterprise-grade application of AI, in testing and beyond. Co-authored by Iosif Itkin, Dmitrii Degtiarenko, Iuliia Emelianova and Anna-Maria Lukina, the book is now available for purchase on Amazon.
