Activity 1: Riskstorming The Jarvis AI System

What do we really know about testing an AI system? What do we really know about testing any system? We plan for most test objectives, using our skills and past experiences to analyze risk and apply methodologies to the problems uncovered. This doesn't change, whether it's an online shopping basket or a complex self-learning model.

As part of this meetup's objective - de-mystifying AI - we are going to look at a hypothetical system-under-test, in the hopes that we can learn that we know more about testing AI than we think we do.

Activity 2: Skynet Training Exercise

During this workshop, we will be looking at removing some of the mystery surrounding using AI in testing, by doing some AI with testing!
You will be tasked with completing a set of challenges with a partner or in small groups using AI to solve your technical problems and produce working tests.

After which we will review just how helpful the AI was, did it make it easier to create? Did it provide you with nonsense? Who knows? Let’s find out!

This workshop will be using ChatGPT to ensure that you can continue your research and try it out on your own after the event.

To participate in the workshop please bring and prepare:

• A laptop

• A laptop charger for their laptop

• Admin permissions to install things on their laptop such as Cypress, as well as checking if access to websites such as ChatGPT is disabled on laptops

• An IDE such VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/download

• Nodejs installed - https://nodejs.org/en/download
