Scenario-Driven RAG AI Testing Framework

This session explores how to test AI systems – especially RAG-based applications—using a scenario-driven and business-focused approach. We begin with a quick introduction to RAG and why traditional QA doesn’t work for AI models prone to hallucinations and safety violations. A simple test case demonstrates basic correctness and relevancy evaluation, followed by a deeper dive into a practical Scenario-Driven AI Testing Framework. You’ll learn how to convert business use cases into structured scenarios, generate dynamic test cases, and validate responses using correctness metrics and guardrail checks like PII protection, refusal behavior, toxicity, and jailbreak detection. The session concludes with an optional demo using Ollama or OpenAI, showing how QA teams can adopt this lightweight framework immediately.

Key Takeaways
  • Learn a practical, scenario-driven framework to test RAG/LLM systems using real business use cases.
  • Understand how to evaluate AI outputs through correctness, relevancy, safety, and guardrail validations.
  • See how to convert business scenarios into dynamic, automated AI test cases using a lightweight approach that QA teams can adopt immediately.
  • Get a hands-on view of multi-turn, safety-sensitive tests using tools like Ollama or OpenAI to validate real-world AI behavior.

Session #1

Nityanand Bharati

Sr. Engineer QED42

AI & QA Engineering | React & JS Developer | Google Bug Hunter Awardee

Nityanand brings a unique mix of web development (React, JS, APIs) and QA engineering expertise to AI testing.

His work centers on building practical frameworks for AI safety, RAG evaluation, and scenario-driven testing that help QA teams confidently validate modern AI applications.

Defining Quality in a Dangerous Decade

This session explores how to test AI systems – especially RAG-based applications—using a scenario-driven and business-focused approach. We begin with a quick introduction to RAG and why traditional QA doesn’t work for AI models prone to hallucinations and safety violations. A simple test case demonstrates basic correctness and relevancy evaluation, followed by a deeper dive into a practical Scenario-Driven AI Testing Framework. You’ll learn how to convert business use cases into structured scenarios, generate dynamic test cases, and validate responses using correctness metrics and guardrail checks like PII protection, refusal behavior, toxicity, and jailbreak detection. The session concludes with an optional demo using Ollama or OpenAI, showing how QA teams can adopt this lightweight framework immediately.

Key Takeaways

1. Why AI acceleration will increase, not reduce, demand for testing
2. How QA must evolve when dynamic agentic interfaces replace static UI flows
3. Why code generated by machines still requires human-driven validation to protect user experience and trust
4. Testing strategies for high-variability, unpredictable, personalised software behaviour.
5. New skills and tooling testers need to thrive in the AI-First decade
6. A blueprint for positioning QA as a strategic safeguard — not a post-development function

Session #2

Swapnil Kotwal

Sr. Staff Software Engineer SailPoint

Swapnil Kotwal is a Sr. Staff Software Engineer at SailPoint who has spent his career solving the messy reality of quality at scale — from microservices and CI/CD pipelines to E2E automation and DevOps. Today, he explores how AI will disrupt software development and why human-centric testing will matter more than ever in the decade ahead.
