Looking Some Best Practices for Testing AI-Powered Applications?

🙋 Questions

Hey everyone,

AI is becoming a big part of software development…, and as testers, we need to adapt. Traditional testing methods don’t always apply when dealing with machine learning models, dynamic outputs and evolving AI behaviors.

I have been working on testing an AI-powered chatbot…, and I have faced challenges like:

  • Non-deterministic responses – The bot doesn’t always return the same output for the same input.
  • Bias and fairness testing – Ensuring the AI doesn’t unintentionally discriminate.
  • Performance under load – Handling unpredictable AI response times.

I would love to hear from testers who have worked on AI applications. What strategies, tools, or frameworks have you found useful: ?? How do you handle edge cases and maintain test coverage for an ever-learning system: ?? I have already gone through this thread https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/day-13-develop-a-testing-approach-and-become-an-ai-in-testing-champion-react-native-course but still looking for some more help.

Looking forward to your insights !!

With Regards,
Derek Theler

Metamorphic testing

Simply explained: You compare 10.000+ results to each other and rank them in order, if the order is let’s say 80%+ accurate (this is acceptance criteria) then your test passed.

I would suggest googling about it for more info, because I could write a lot about it XD

I had several projects where I’ve done metamorphic testing or just probability theory testing based on requirements for machine learning.

A fun book to read is: Not with a Bug but With a Sticker. Not with a Bug, But with a Sticker: Attacks on Machine Learning Systems and What To Do About Them: Siva Kumar, Ram Shankar, Anderson, Hyrum, Schneier, Bruce: 9781119883982: Amazon.com: Books

For security I use MLSec Threat Modeling
