AI Testing Dojo: Build, Break & Master Agents

Gomathi Ramalingam

09:00-12:30 CET, Wednesday 4th November

Every tester I talk to has the same question: “I’ve tried Copilot and ChatGPT for test generation and sometimes it’s brilliant, sometimes it’s dangerously wrong. How do I know when to trust it?””

That judgment doesn’t come from reading blog posts. It comes from building something, watching it fail, and understanding why it failed. That’s what this tutorial delivers.

In three hours, working entirely in the browser via GitHub Codespaces (zero local setup), you’ll progress through three stages of a testing dojo — each one building on the last:

White Belt — Context Engineering with Claude and GPT

Blue Belt — Heuristic Auditing: Catching What AI Misses

Black Belt — Agent Showdown: Build It, Then Break It.

What you will Learn

  1. A scored prompt library and forkable agent prototype — 20+ tested prompts for API test generation, ranked by hallucination rate and coverage, plus a working generate→execute→analyse→regenerate loop you can adapt to your own APIs.
  2. A 6-heuristic quality gate checklist — a systematic, repeatable process for auditing any AI-generated test suite, grounded in established testing theory.
  3. Calibrated judgment on AI-assisted testing — not hype, not fear. Three hours of hands-on experience with where AI testing works, where it doesn't, and exactly where your skills sit in the partnership

Gomathi Ramalingam

SIMBA Chain, UK

Gomathi Ramalingam is a Quality Director with over 20 years of experience leading QA and product delivery across blockchain, financial services, e-commerce, and retail. She currently directs quality assurance and product delivery at SIMBA Chain, where she champions the use of Agentic AI and LLMs to drive testing efficiency and automate delivery workflows. She's an international speaker and committee member with BCS SIGiST and BCS Cheltenham & Gloucester, and a community voice in Women in Blockchain Talks. Gomathi brings the practitioner's voice to The AI Testing Dojo: she's already building the kind of AI testing agents you'll be constructing in this workshop. She's here to share what she's learned putting AI into real quality processes - not in theory, but in production. When she's not chasing down defects or deliveries, you'll find her chasing marathon finish lines or exploring new corners of the world.
