Software Testing with Generative AI

8 Assisting exploratory testing with artificial intelligence

This chapter covers

• Enhancing exploratory testing charter creation using LLMs
• Identifying opportunities for using LLMs in exploratory testing sessions
• Using LLMs to support various activities during exploratory testing sessions
• Summarizing exploratory testing session reports with LLMs

So far, we’ve explored how large language models (LLMs) can help us with a range of testing activities and artifacts that are algorithmic. Activities such as code and data generation have distinct syntax and formatting rules, and come with a certain degree of repeatability that works well with LLMs. But what about the more heuristic-based testing activities, such as exploratory testing? How can LLMs ...
