Setting Up Our AI Assistant Continuing from our previous post, we’ll use OpenIAI for this part. Integrating OpenAI’s Assistant feature into your testing workflow is straightforward and beneficial. Here’s how you can set up your AI-powered testing assistant to revolutionize your email testing process: 1. First Why Even Use AI Assistant Its ability to read files, execute code, and make informed decisions makes it an ideal partner for automating and enhancing your testing procedures. 2. Obtain and Secure API Access To connect OpenAI’s Assistant with your testing environment, follow these steps: * Create an OpenAI Account: Sign up on the OpenAI platform if you haven’t already. * Generate an API Key: Navigate to your account dashboard, access the API section, and generate a secure API key. Ensure this key is stored safely to protect your projects from unauthorized access. 3. Integrate with Your Preferred Testing Framework Ensure that OpenAI’s Assistant works with the tools you already use: * Choose Compatible Frameworks: Tools like Cypress, Moacha and GitHub Actions are highly compatible with AI-generated tests. * Install Necessary Plugins: Utilize available plugins or extensions to bridge OpenAI’s Assistant with these frameworks. This integration allows the Assistant to generate and execute test cases directly within your existing workflow, enhancing efficiency and coverage. The Prompt We’ll use the latest gpt-4o model and enable the code interpreter tools. That should allow it to read, run and execute some code for us. Now let’s go ahead and start generating our test cases. We’ll use the prompt --- You are creating a code test that will return true of false if a certain criteria passes. The language for > all tests should be in javascript. Use dotenv for your API keys. The criteria is: Generate an email message and send it via nodemailer using google’s SMTP servers. Send it to ferrari@mailsac.com. Wait 2 seconds for the email to send from Google then use the mailsac API to check the subject and content of the email. Make the test pass if it matches what was sent in 1 and fail if it doesn’t match. --- Keep in mind that you can easily tweak the SMTP to use your own service. We’ll stick with Google’s as its the most accessible for this walkthrough. In the next section, we’ll dive into running these AI-generated tests, analyzing the results, and fine-tuning your testing process for maximum efficiency and reliability. #AI #SoftwareTesting #EmailTesting #OpenAI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechInnovation #QualityAssurance #Automation #LinkedInPost

Email Testing - AI’s Time To Shine From yesterday's post, let's put AI to work with a real-world scenario. We're going to have our AI assistant create a test that: 1. Fires off an email 2. Checks if it landed where it should 3. Makes sure the content matches what we sent Sounds simple, but here's where it gets interesting. We're not just telling AI what to do - we're letting it write the actual test code. We'll use OpenAI's "Assistant" feature for this. Think of it as ChatGPT's more capable cousin. It can read files, run code, and even make decisions (to an extent). To keep things safe (and avoid spamming real inboxes), we'll use Mailsac's API for our testing playground. Ready to see how this unfolds? Let's break down the process: 1. Set up our AI assistant 2. Give it clear instructions 3. Let it generate our test case 4. Tweak the results (because even AI needs a human touch) 5. Run the test and see the magic happen Let’s work through just the first couple of steps the next post.

The Role of AI in Software Testing: Your Controlled Chaos Maker AI is everywhere, even in software testing. But contrary to the fears of job displacement, AI is set to become a powerful ally for testers. Here’s how AI can enhance software testing processes. Think of AI in the testing world as your personal chaos generator - but the good kind. It's like having an unpredictable user simulator after 10 cups of coffee. Here's how it’d generally work: 1. Unpredictability: AI can mimic human-like behavior, introducing that element of surprise our apps need to handle. 2. Efficiency Boost: Cranking out test cases at lightning speed. That's AI. 3. Execution and Analysis: Not just writing tests, but running them and telling you what blew up? AI will do that. 4. Framework Integration: These AI-generated tests? They play nice with your favorite tools like Cypress, Mocha or GitHub Actions. The key isn't to fight AI, but to make it your sidekick. In the following days we’ll post some full length, real-world examples on how this looks in action.
