What will I learn?

This training provides both theoretical foundation and practical skills for professional testing with the help of generative AI. You’ll explore how large language models work, how to design effective prompts for real test tasks, and how to manage the risks that come with using AI in your test process – including hallucinations, bias, data privacy, and environmental impact.

Key takeaways

1. Understand the fundamentals of Generative AI and large language models relevant to software testing
2. Design and apply structured prompts using prompt chaining, few-shot prompting, and meta prompting
3. Apply GenAI to test analysis, test design, automated regression testing, and test monitoring
4. Identify and mitigate hallucinations, reasoning errors, bias, and data privacy risks
5. Understand LLM-powered test infrastructure including RAG, AI agents, and LLMOps
6. Prepare for the official ISTQB® CT-GenAI certification exam
