Quick Results, Smart Data – AI for Testing 

We know how challenging and time-consuming your work can be. The constant need to create detailed test cases, manage endless amounts of test data, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Add in the pressure to deliver high-quality products quickly – it’s A LOT.  

In our recent webinar, “Gen AI That Obeys, Testing That Stays: Transforming Testing Paradigms”, Meher Bondili, Head of Quality Engineering at Prolifics, explains how generative AI is changing the game in software testing by automating the creation of detailed test cases and managing extensive amounts of test data. This automation accelerates the testing lifecycle, reduces operational costs, and significantly enhances the overall quality of software products. 

As products evolve and market demands increase, traditional testing methods often struggle to keep up. Fortunately, there are “AI for Testing” solutions that use generative AI and are designed to make your work easier, more efficient, and more accurate. Plus, you can be confident that generative AI applications play by YOUR rules so you can trust the results and focus on what really matters. 

Kiran Bhashyam, Solution Directory of Quality Engineering at Prolifics, adds, 

Generative AI is not just about automating tasks; it’s about transforming the entire testing lifecycle, making it more efficient and robust.

Key Benefits for Testing Teams

  • 70% Increased Efficiency: AI-driven automation tools can generate and execute test cases rapidly, leading to a 70% increase in efficiency. This allows testing teams to focus on more complex and value-adding activities. 
  • 20% Improved Test Coverage: AI’s ability to analyze large datasets enables a 20% improvement in test coverage, ensuring that all edge cases are identified and addressed, thus minimizing the risk of undetected defects. 
  • 50% Time Savings: The automation of test case generation, execution, and result reporting can save up to 50% of the time traditionally required for these tasks, allowing faster time-to-market. 
  • Consistency and Accuracy: AI ensures consistent and accurate results, eliminating the variability and errors associated with manual testing, thereby ensuring higher quality outputs. 

With AI, we’re not just increasing speed; we’re enhancing the accuracy and reliability of our tests, ensuring higher quality software. – Meher Bondili, Quality Engineering Lead at Prolifics 

AI-Driven Test Data Management

Prolifics has developed a comprehensive test data management platform powered by AI. This platform streamlines the creation and maintenance of test data, ensuring high quality and relevance. Here’s how it works: 

  • Pattern Recognition and Categorization: AI analyzes existing sample data to identify patterns and similarities. This forms the basis for generating new, relevant test data that adheres to recognized patterns. 
  • Rule-Based Data Generation: For scenarios where sample data is insufficient, AI employs a rule-based engine to create data based on predefined rules, ensuring that generated data is both relevant and accurate. 
  • Validation and Deduplication: The platform includes a robust validation process to ensure the accuracy of generated data, along with deduplication mechanisms to eliminate redundant data entries. 
  • Continuous Learning and Adaptation: The AI continuously learns from new data and user feedback, refining its data generation processes to ensure ongoing relevance and accuracy. 

Our AI-powered test data platform is designed to handle the most complex data challenges, ensuring that our test data is always high quality and relevant. – Meher Bondili 

Ensuring Reliability and Fairness in AI Systems

Testing AI systems, particularly Generative AI, requires rigorous validation to ensure reliability, fairness, and security. Prolifics has developed a comprehensive framework for testing Generative AI systems, encompassing multiple dimensions of AI evaluation: 

Key Considerations for AI Testing 

  • Improved Reliability: Ensuring that AI systems perform consistently as intended, reducing the risk of unexpected behaviors and enhancing trust in AI-driven processes. 
  • Enhanced Fairness: Mitigating biases and promoting ethical AI usage to ensure fair and equitable outcomes, critical for maintaining regulatory compliance and public trust. 
  • Increased Security: Identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities to protect AI systems from cyber-attacks and other security threats. 
  • Greater Transparency: Providing clear insights into AI decision-making processes to enhance transparency and accountability, building trust among stakeholders.
