AI Testing: How to Ensure Quality in Non-Deterministic Systems with Adam Sandman

How do you ensure software quality when the system you're testing doesn't give the same output twice?

That's the core challenge facing every QA team building or testing AI-powered applications today and it's breaking all the rules we've relied on for decades.

In this episode of the TestGuild Automation Podcast, I sit down with Adam Sandman, co-founder of Inflectra, to get into what non-deterministic AI testing actually means in practice, why traditional pass/fail testing no longer cuts it, and what quality professionals need to do differently right now.

We cover:

• Why AI-generated code is raising the stakes for QA teams while budgets stay flat
• The fundamental difference between deterministic and non-deterministic systems — and why it changes everything about how you test
• How to set acceptable risk thresholds for AI systems (hint: it depends on whether you're building an e-commerce chatbot or an air traffic control system)
• Why testers who embrace AI as a tool — not a threat — will be the ones leading their organizations forward
• How a live demo failure at a conference inspired Inflectra's new non-deterministic testing tool, SureWire

If you're a tester, QA manager, or automation engineer trying to figure out how to keep up with AI-driven development without losing your mind — or your job — this one's for you.
