Rich Jordan, a DevOps transformation specialist, will first discuss how you can provide AI with sufficient domain understanding. He will consider how you can uncover and structure sufficient data to teach an AI organizational context, processes and system rules, avoiding a "garbage in, garbage out" situation in the application of AI.
James Walker, a model-based testing pioneer, will then showcase his work in integrating generative AI with model-based testing. He will discuss how AI-augmented models help retain the coverage, observability and governance needed to assure quality when testing with AI.
Nicola L. Martin, a Head of Quality Engineering and leading thinker in AI diversity, will next consider the risks posed by AI for inclusion. This will cover the key role that testing should play on ethics committees, and how QA must test far earlier to ensure that software respects diversity and inclusion.
Adam Leon Smith, an expert in AI regulation and BCS Chair, will finish by highlighting legislation that you must consider when setting up a Large Language Model (LLM). He will flag regulations that your AI strategy should prepare for today, to ensure that you can reap the future benefits of AI for testing.
The live session will finish with an extended Q&A, so please come with your questions for this panel of AI and testing experts!
