About

Welcome to this lesson on test case generation with AI assistance. 

This lesson is going to focus on comprehensive testing strategies that form the foundation for effective AI-assisted test generation. We will examine risk-based approaches, different test levels, boundary analysis, and maintenance patterns that ensure your testing remains valuable as systems evolve. 

Intended audience: 

This lesson has been designed for budding software architects and developers who are new to AI tooling generally, or those who have some experience but are looking to expand their knowledge. 

This course leads onto some Instructor Led Training for building software using AI tools. 

Learning objectives:

By the end of this lesson, you will have a greater understanding of:  

  • How to prioritize testing by business risk, impact, and likelihood, and separate confidence goals from tool capabilities.  

  • The characteristics and appropriate application of the four key test levels: Unit, Integration, Contract, and Property-based testing.  

  • Systematic techniques for test design, including boundary analysis for numeric, temporal, concurrency, and resource boundaries.  

  • Strategies for evaluating and validating AI-generated code, including defining acceptance criteria and using mutation testing philosophy. 

Prerequisites: 

This course is part of an introduction to AI tooling and we will expand your knowledge from a beginner position. However, knowledge of any AI tools would put you at an advantage.
