He is a member of the ISTQB Polish Testing Board.
What will Adam Roman be discussing?
The Future of Black-Box Testing
Future testing should be as effective and efficient as possible. However, there is no one test technique that fits all. On the contrary, in most realistic situations, some specific combination of test techniques fits best. Testers are often challenged to select such a combination. The presentation explains the various factors influencing the choice of the test techniques. It discusses three categories of black-box test techniques: data-based, rule-based and behavior-based. It indicates their strengths and challenges in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, including automation. It also shows how generative AI can help testers in deriving models or test cases based on a particular test technique. The presentation concludes with a list of black-box techniques which enable testers to be systematic, effective and efficient in their work, with brief indications when to use them best.
