### AI overview

James Bach's Testing and AI Workshop combines a live demonstration of AI-assisted testing in assistive and agentic modes with participant practice and optional instructor critique. The excerpt describes an initial 90-minute webinar, several hours for participants to work alone or in groups on a testing problem, and a second 90-minute webinar to review work. The author enjoyed the class but, because of caregiving interruptions, could not devote the planned time to practicing how to use AI to test a website. The workshop description says attendees keep the videos; a July 6, 2026 session is listed, with a 50% discount for unemployed participants.

### Source excerpt

Last week, I saw that there was a new half day workshop by one of the creators of Rapid Software Testing, James Bach, Testing and AI Workshop, and that they were offering a 50% discount for anyone who was unemployed, so I just had to attend.

This is a demonstration of AI-assisted testing (using both assistive and agentic modes of AI) on a real product, accompanied by an analysis and explanation of what happened during the demo. During this part of the workshop, you may ask questions or offer critique. "Next the instructors will challenge you to perform a similar process or solve a similar problem with the help of AI. You will have two hours. You will be able to work alone or in groups, as you like. "Finally, the instructors will review and critique your work, if you choose to share it. At the end of the event, you will get to keep the videos". I really enjoyed the class! It involved an hour-and-a-half webinar, where James Bach walks people though how he uses AI, a few hours where you can work on your own project for the course, then another hour-and-a-half webinar where course attendees could review what they came up with to analyze a site. My only problem with the course was that my rambunctious seven year old was home sick, and I wasn't able to dedicate a few hours to come up with how to use AI to test a website, since I was busy making lunch and chatting with my kiddo.
