TRUST a new model for “Human + AI Partnership in Testing

As GenAI becomes integral to modern products and workflows, traditional testing approaches are no longer sufficient to ensure reliability and trust. This session introduces TRUST — Threat Ready, Risk-Driven, User-Centric, Self-Improving, and Traceable — a practical framework for testing in the age of GenAI.

Threat Ready focusses on the need to protect our systems and products from internal as well as external threats.
Risk-Driven ensures testing focuses on areas of highest business and user impact.
User-Centric focusses on testing towards usability, perception, and confidence, not just accuracy.
Self-Improving / healing emphasizes how AI can enhance the testing process through intelligent test generation, pattern recognition, and continuous learning.
Traceable reinforces explainability and auditability so teams can clearly connect model outputs to data and decisions.
This framework blends human judgment with AI-assisted capabilities, helping teams validate not just performance, but responsibility, reliability, and long-term trust in AI-generated systems.

Takeaways from this talk

  • A Framework for Testing GenAI Systems
    Participants will learn how the TRUST model provides a structured, practical approach to validate GenAI systems—covering data quality, model behavior, risks, and continuous improvement.
  • How to Shift from Traditional Testing to Intelligence-Aware Quality?
    Attendees will understand why conventional test practices fall short for AI models and how to evolve toward training-aware, risk-focused, and human-centered testing strategies.
  • Leveraging GEN AI to Strengthen the Testing Lifecycle
    The session will demonstrate how GenAI can augment testers through autonomous test generation, pattern detection, defect prediction, and self-improving validation loops.
