What is the point of our IA and software testing training program ?
The classical approach to software testing is based on a scripted approach.
The creation of these test plans / expected application behaviour requires time. The problem of executing tests, which are usually repetitive, is addressed by test automation tools.
However, tests can still represent a bottleneck in the execution of a project in an Agile environment.
In recent years, the use of “deep learning” and artificial intelligence (AI) has developed in order to provide business solutions based on data analysis to predict behaviour or solve specific technical problems (shape recognition, autonomous driving, business process automation, etc.).
The two issues that arise are therefore:
- How to test an application that uses AI / Deep learning?
- How to use AI to help teams test an application differently and save time?
It is to answer these questions that ALL4TEST – in collaboration with the A4Q association – offers a certified training on AI and testing.
Following this training, we also offer, as an option, a coaching / POC tools to help you implement these technologies on your IT projects. Contact us for more information!
A. The content of the IA and software testing training program
1. The outline of the IA and testing training program
Initially, the key aspects of AI such as its history, symbolic AI (i.e. visible to humans) or its limits; are covered in the first of the three main chapters of the Syllabus.
Then, once the prerequisites in terms of AI language are understood, it is time to move on to the testing of AI systems. All participants will then learn about the different measures and strategies to be implemented to test these systems, as well as the issues related to these tests.
Finally, these teachings are completed by modules on:
- the use of AI for test support
- the method of applying AI to test tasks and quality management.
The A4Q AI and Software Testing Foundation certification provides a professional level of knowledge and understanding of the use of Artificial Intelligence in software testing and the use of AI in applications that are based on this technology.
2. The objectives of this training program
- Know the key aspects of Artificial Intelligence
- Know how to conduct tests of systems that incorporate AI
- Be able to use artificial intelligence to support testing
3. People who might be interested in this IA and software testing training program
- Software engineers and testers
- Designers in general and usability designers in particular
- Anyone who is interested or involved in AI-enabled software testing and wants to maximize their understanding
- Business analysts and managers looking to understand how artificial intelligence could add value to the business
B. Details about the A4Q AI and Software Testing certification exam
1. How the exam is administered
This exam is composed by of 40 multiple choice questions, with one point for each correct answer. The requirement for passing this exam is a score of at least 65% or at least 26 questions with a correct answer. The time limit for taking the exam is one hour. Additional time may be granted to candidates whose native language is not the language of the exam (25% or 15 minutes).
2. Recommendations to follow
GASQ’s recommendation for participants is to complete a training program with an accredited provider before taking the exam.
In order to organize your exam, ALL4TEST is at your disposal to help you have all the necessary elements to succeed in your IA and software testing training and your A4Q certification.
