Introduction
In our rapidly evolving digital world, where technology intertwines with our daily activities, ensuring the reliability of the application we use has become more critical than ever. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the work of AI testing, revealing how it serves as a digital guardian, ensuring your websites are always up to the task.
Understanding AI
Before we dive into AI testing, let’s first understand what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is. The word AI has become a buzzword recently after the release of ChatGPT – an AI powered revolutionising chatbot. But what is it actually ?
AI can be defined as an emulation of human intelligence through the programming of the machine to perform tasks that require advanced cognitive functions such as data analysis, decision making, and adapting to new information. Unlike conventional programming, which is limited to instructing computers to perform specific tasks, AI allows the systems to operate beyond rigid programming constraints and exhibit a level of intelligence that can mimic human cognitive abilities.
What is AI Testing?
AI testing stands at the intersection of artificial intelligence and software testing, leveraging advanced technologies to enhance and streamline the testing process. The fundamental objective is to elevate the efficiency and accuracy of testing procedures while mitigating manual effort and minimising the potential for human errors.
AI testing might sound like a complex concept, however it serves as a meticulous overseer of website integrity. It intelligently identifies and rectifies potential issues, functioning as a proactive force to maintain peak website performance. The smooth experience shows how well AI testing works behind the scenes. It quietly adapts to changes, making sure your website runs smoothly in real time.
Visual testing is another dimension where AI plays a significant role. AI testing acts as your digital artist, examining every pixel to make sure the visuals are spot on. By analysing the graphical interface of the website, AI tools can identify visual anomalies, UI changes and rendering issues. This is particularly valuable for applications with intricate and dynamic user interfaces. At OSKY we implement visual testing tools such as Applitools Eyes and Percy.io, to enhance our testing strategy with AI. These tools are cloud- based visual testing platforms that use advanced algorithms to analyse screenshots of the application’s user interface, detecting even subtle differences between different versions of the application. This helps ensure the visual correctness of the application across various browsers, devices and screen sizes.
In simple terms, AI testing is like having a smart assistant for checking software. It uses advanced computer intelligence to help find and fix problems in computer programs. Imagine it’s like a robot that can understand and test software all by itself, making sure everything works well. This smart testing not only speeds up the process but also catches mistakes early, helping to make sure that the software we use is reliable and works smoothly.
The next time you revel in the flawless performance of your website, remember – AI testing is the next step to ensure your digital interactions remain effortlessly smooth and OSKY is always on hand to help set it up for your website.
