Day 27: Assess your team’s readiness to adopt AI-assisted testing

With our journey into AI in testing well underway, it’s time to evaluate our team’s readiness for embracing AI-assisted testing. In previous tasks, we’ve envisioned a strategic approach for AI in testing in our context and reflected on the necessary team skills and roles. Today, we aim to assess our team’s current readiness and identify the steps needed to bridge any gaps to successfully adopt AI in testing approaches.

Task Steps

  • Assess Current State and Identify Capability Gaps: Assess your team’s current readiness for AI adoption by examining existing skills, and your team’s infrastructure and processes. Determine where your team might fall short in embracing AI-assisted testing. This could include:

    • Lack of understanding of AI and ML concepts.

    • Insufficient data for training AI models.

    • Inadequate infrastructure to support AI tools.

    • Processes that are not optimised for AI integration.

Future tip: Emily Webber’s Capability Comb matrix is an excellent framework for identifying gaps in your team’s capabilities. It works best if you can collaborate with your team members to gather their perspectives and insights during the assessment.

  • Develop a Roadmap: Based on your assessment, draft a plan to address these gaps and work towards building AI in testing capabilities within your team over time. Your roadmap could include:

    • Training and upskilling programs in AI and ML.
    • Strategies for improving data collection and management.
    • Upgrades or adjustments to infrastructure to accommodate AI testing tools.
    • Process refinement to seamlessly integrate AI into testing workflows.

  • Share Your Insights: In reply to this post, summarise your team’s readiness assessment and your proposed roadmap. Consider including

    • The strengths your team possesses and the gaps you’ve identified.
    • The specific actions planned to bridge these gaps.
    • The challenges you anticipate and any strategies you plan to implement to overcome them.

Why Take Part

  • Benchmark Your Progress: Gain a comprehensive understanding of your team’s readiness for AI-assisted testing.
  • Plan for Success: Create a roadmap that will help successfully integrate AI into your team’s testing practices.
