What Is AI Testing: Strategies, Tools and Best Practices

AI testing is a process that uses artificial intelligence technologies to enhance automation, improve accuracy, and accelerate test execution in software applications. It helps automate test processes, optimize test scripts, and generate test data quickly, improving efficiency and accuracy in detecting software defects. Some benefits of AI testing include enhanced test planning, test case creation, test authoring, no-code test automation, auto-healing, flaky test detection, and root-cause analysis (RCA). To perform AI testing, teams should define clear objectives, leverage AI technologies, train algorithms, measure efficiency and accuracy, and conduct various tests like model interpretability testing, bias and fairness testing, data quality and validation testing, adversarial testing, black-box testing, white-box testing, and integrate the tested AI model into their test infrastructure. Some popular AI testing tools include KaneAI by LambdaTest, TestCraft, Tricentis Tosca, and testRigor. Challenges in AI testing include verification of AI algorithms, unpredictability of algorithms, obtaining a good training dataset, and integration hurdles. To optimally conduct AI testing, teams should follow best practices such as testing the algorithm first, collaborating with other tools, avoiding security loopholes, and sustaining high-quality datasets.
