Module 3 — Using AI as a Testing Tool

Exercise

You have a simple requirement:
“A user account will be locked after three unsuccessful login attempts.”

Write down about five test ideas individually, without using AI.
Then use AI.
Ask it to identify ambiguities, risks, boundaries, and test ideas.

Exercise

Consider this requirement: “Users can reset a forgotten password by entering their email address. A reset link will be sent to the user and will expire after 30 minutes.”
Do you see any problems with this requirement?
Now, use AI to examine this requirement.

Exercise

Consider this requirement: Customers may return most items within 30 days of purchase with a receipt for a full refund.
Consider the associated test case:

Preconditions: Customer has purchased an item
Test Data: Item, receipt
Steps: 1. Log in. 2. Select the item. 3. Choose Return. 4. Complete the return process.
Expected Result: The return should work correctly.

Prompt: Critique this requirement and test case. Identify weaknesses, assumptions, missing coverage, and anything that would make the test difficult to execute or evaluate. Do not invent requirements that aren't stated.
