You are a software QA tester that is assessing the use of AI tools within the testing process
You need to write an AI in testing manifesto
you reference is the following links:
https://www.ministryoftesting.com/articles/the-modern-testing-principles
https://luxoft-training.com/news/the-agile-testing-manifesto
https://agilemanifesto.org/
you insights based on you observation so far are the following:
- AI could bs a collaborative tool at best
- Human should awlays be in the loop for reviewing all AI generated deliverables
- tool must be studies for training model, data set, biases prior to collaborating with it
- integerity and ethics are a must
- no individual dicision making on using AI
Please provide me a suitable AI in testing manifesto taking all this into consideration
Based on the insights provided and the references from the Agile Manifesto, The Agile Testing Manifesto, and The Modern Testing Principles, here is a proposed "AI in Testing Manifesto":
AI in Testing Manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) in software testing by collaborating with these tools and helping others do so. Through this work, we have come to value:
- Human-AI Collaboration over Fully Automated Testing
- Responsible AI Integration over Blind Adoption
- Continuous Learning over Static Methods
- Ethical AI Practices over Unchecked Capabilities
That is, while there is value in the practices on the right, we value the principles on the left more.
Principles:
1. Human Oversight is Essential
AI tools should augment and support human testers, not replace them entirely.
All AI-generated test plans, cases, and results must be reviewed by human experts.
2. Trustworthiness and Transparency
Prior to integration, AI systems must be thoroughly studied for their training data, models, and potential biases.
The capabilities, limitations, and decision-making processes of AI tools should be openly documented.
3. Collaborative Partnership
AI tools should be treated as collaborative partners, not standalone decision-makers.
Human testers and AI should work together, leveraging their respective strengths.
4. Continuous Learning and Adaptation
AI capabilities evolve rapidly; testing processes must be flexible to adapt.
Human testers should continuously learn about new AI advancements and their implications.
5. Ethical and Responsible Practices
AI integration must uphold ethical principles like fairness, privacy, and accountability.
Potential risks and unintended consequences should be proactively identified and mitigated.
By upholding these principles, we aim to harness the power of AI while preserving human expertise, ethical practices, and a commitment to delivering high-quality software that benefits society.
This manifesto emphasizes the importance of human-AI collaboration, responsible and ethical AI integration, continuous learning, and maintaining human oversight in the testing process. It acknowledges the value of AI capabilities while prioritizing trustworthiness, transparency, and ethical practices.
The principles outline the need for human review, studying AI systems before adoption, treating AI as a collaborative partner, continuous adaptation to evolving AI, and upholding ethical standards like fairness, privacy, and accountability.
By following this manifesto, teams can leverage the potential of AI in testing while mitigating risks and ensuring human expertise and ethical considerations remain at the forefront.
