Hello, Rosie and MoT community!

I’m Navila from Toronto and I have been a proud tester since my graduation in '12 from UofT Electrical Engineering. I spent a lot of time in a bookstore post-grad (lost and in a lot of student debt) and came across an e-reading device. I checked out their website and saw some job openings at their company - applied and also reported some fun defects in a Google group. I got a call and started in QA from there =]

I have worked with two Canadian companies so far as a QA Engineer, one B2C and now an enterprise-based company in Supply chain. Recently my team and I embarked on learning about AI and Software Testing. We finished and discussed a book together, and started to have conversations on AI models with the data science team - mainly around ensuring data accuracy of tables that the models use to make recommendations.

I came across this challenge a little late, so I will do my best to catch up and share any insights! I look forward to connecting with this community and exploring the huge knowledge base it has via its courses. Thanks for organizing this initiative, MoT =]

Hello Everyone,
I know I’m a bit late. This is also my first interaction with MoT, and am currently seeking to get my first job as a tester. I have had multiple experiences with manual testing and planning testing updates for multiple systems for around 4 years with a International company in the US.

When I saw this post of 30days of AI, I was intrigued. I’m interested to find out more about what AI’s role in testing is.

Introduce yourself:
Hello, my name is Mariem and I’m a QA tester with 4 years of experience and a big fan of MoT :ninja_pink:
Your Interest in AI:
Being in the IT industry, I’ll inevitably need to use AI. I already do in my everyday life. But I can’t use a tool without understanding its basics, how it works, and how I can benefit from it…
I don’t know yet what particular areas of AI in testing I’m eager to learn more about… :thinking: may be help me with automation?.. I need to restart from the beginning first…then I’ll tell you :wink:
What do you aim to learn or achieve in this challenge?
I need a step-by-step guide to learn more about AI, testing AI and how to use it IN testing without being overwhelmed by the massive amount of resources available because I can easily find myself in a rabbit hole :sweat_smile:
Let the adventure begin! :pen: :spiral_notepad: :explorer:
